Relax and Release: 3D spatial sound piece, 2019
3D spatial soundscape from a live interactive installation | 15min long
“Relax & Release” is an interactive digital installation that encourages movement, play and connection with emotional and magical aspects of the human body. The audience is invited to take a journey through the states of relaxation and release, immersed in visuals and sounds generated by our real-time motion tracking technology. The more participants explore, the more visual and sonic reward they receive. The artistic outcome of every showcase is an original media art piece entirely created by the audience themselves.
The British Council commissioned a new development for their 80th anniversary at the Athens Science Festival. We collaborated with generative sound artist Magik Door to design interactive sounds that could be integrated with our real-time visuals to provide a more immersive experience. Inspired by the states of relaxation and release, both sound and visuals respond differently depending on the nature and speed of the audience’s movement.
