Acoustic Views by Bill Fontana and produced for radio by Andrew
McLennan was a sound sculpture realized through eight giant
speakers on the roof of the Art Gallery of New South Wales during
the 1988 Sydney Biennale. Bill Fontana's idea was to associate
sounds with the distant places that could be viewed from the art
gallery, "to create a situation in which visitors to the Art
Gallery could hear as far as they could see" across the city of
Sydney.

It’s a sculptural relocation of ambient sounds from Audley in the
Royal National Park south of Sydney, the Harbour Bridge, Taronga
Zoo, Bondi Beach, Circular Quay, Central Railway, the GPO bell
tower, the Belfry of St. Mary’s Cathedral, the trading floor of
the Sydney Stock Exchange and from the last remaining bell-buoy
on the harbour.
