Installation for Sonos Studio and The xx in which 50 robotic Sonos speakers turned toward visitors while spatialized audio followed them through the room.
Built with Aramique and Matt Mets, the work used Kinect tracking, computer vision, and a multi-speaker control system to make The xx’s “Missing” behave as a responsive spatial composition.
