Video: My interactive nosiescape (2018)
This is an interactive noisescape that I built for a project at school. I wanted to create a space that held the participants without instructions from an leader, or written, or in any kind. My goal was stillness, so I wanted to punish movement. Vibrations are picked up from the…
