This project was also part of an ongoing research project titled [Inflecting Space].

The main goal of our experimentation was to study how sound can affect human perception of space and what kind of spatial clues sound gives.

The final product of our project was creating an application and exhibiting it as an installation; where people entered into the exhibition space and used their sounds as mediums of creating abstract visuals responding to their sound and points of audio inflections.

 

At these points of inflections, a sudden change in the shapes and volumes being visualized occur. The instantaneous response to these changes made people experiment with their voices and sounds they can make with their bodies too ‘i.e. clapping’.

This project is part of my Master degree in Design and Digital Media at the University of Edinburgh and I have collaborated with Louis Minnaar; who at that time was an M.Sc. Sound Design student.
