The exhibition of ‘Your Acoustic Horizon – Tilburg’ in the LocHal is an example in which we publicly test and develop technologies further within the researchlab The Biotope. We invite public to visit, experience and join our quest for new inspirations.
In this project, research is conducted on ‘live-streaming-sound’ – transmitting the sound from location A to location B in real time, as well as ‘generative software’ – generating compositions with sound and music automatically. More cities in Noord-Brabant and The Netherlands will follow.
From the 16th to the 28th of September, all visitors of the LocHal were welcome to come see the ongoing research project by Strijbos & Van Rijswijk. We were working with visual artist Marc van Vliet on a new project called ‘Your Acoustic Horizon’. During this time, we have experimented with streaming live sound from the city to the location in the LocHal in Tilburg. It takes place on the StadsBalkon, a special location overviewing the train station and the city. Using generative software, the sounds are crafted into a musical composition that the audience walks through. As a visitor, you are free to move through the installation while looking out over the train tracks right in front of you.
