Translating sound from the auditory to the spatial domain, and shifting between perceptive forms and media, this workshop intends to explore the manifestation of sound in space, and will thus focus on the spatialisation of sound in a virtual reality setting, created in Unity 3D.
The setup includes head-mounted displays to create the – illusory – perception of presence in a virtual space, and Kinect sensors to scan and correlate one’s position from the real to the virtual space.
The workshop aims at creating spatial duals of sound as distinct perceptual perspectives or modalities of the same object. We intend to challenge participants to think of how sound could be transferred and experienced in a different medium, as a modulating or formative force on space.
