Sound Resources: Environmental Installation

Interactive Sound Installation: Intrium

INTRIUM is an interactive sound installation exploring the inside vibration of the atrium. A certain number of architectural elements are fitted with acoustic sensors in order to capture the vibration they produce when they are manipulated or touched by hands. This raw sound is further processed in real-time, allowing the participants to create a sonic landscape in the atrium, as the result of ...

The Sound Installation

In this paper I analyze the interaction between sound and the visual arts as well as its development through the acoustic space and time. In other words, I am trying to understand the aesthetic implications of the sound sculpture and sound installation disciplines. Nevertheless, in order to understand the main characteristics of this relatively new media, we need first to consider some importan...

Reeds: A Responsive Sound Installation

This paper discusses the responsive sound installation Reeds. The Melbourne International Festival of the Arts commissioned the Reeds project in 2000, for exhibition on the Ornamental Lake at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. It consists of twenty-one large floating sculptures, modeled to represent clusters of river reeds in immaculate man-made plantings. Each reed pod contained a collectio...

Sustainable: a dynamic, robotic, sound installation

This paper details the motivations, design, and realization of Sustainable, a dynamic, robotic sound installation that employs a generative algorithm for music and sound creation. The piece is comprised of seven autonomous water gong nodes that are networked together by water tubes to distribute water throughout the system. A water resource allocation algorithm guides this distribution process ...
