An interactive experience fusing music and image. Users’ movements are transformed into a dynamically designed audio-visual experience through the Bell Labs Motion Engine.
Mutual Understanding
Thomas Grill (AT)
Two acoustic agents incarnated by large horn loudspeakers are incessantly exchanging acoustic codes. Based on models of human vocalization, they develop their vocabulary independently from a natural language. In their ongoing discourse, they follow a common goal: to optimize the beauty of their own vocal expression.
