Sound in a shared space
Presented in OIST's Tunnel Gallery, the installation brought spatial audio and visuals into an everyday passageway. Contrasting sound environments invited visitors to notice how sound and visual context influence perception and behaviour.
My contribution
I worked primarily on building the sound system. The exhibition credits my role as Spatial Sound Design and System, alongside collaborators in sound, visual arts, engineering, and perception research.
