Latent Enclosures is a sound installation exploring how physical and digital enclosures shape perception. It uses microphones, speakers, and reconfigured commercial psychoacoustic algorithms tuned to the gallery’s acoustics. By projecting and modulating the space with digital systems designed for obfuscated transparency, the listener’s awareness of how these enclosures manipulate sonic experience is magnified.

Latent Enclosures is conceived, composed, and programmed by Hunter Brown. Developed for the Ars Electronica Campus Exhibition 2025, the project combines site-specific sound design with custom psychoacoustic processing to explore how physical and digital systems shape sensory perception. Special thanks to Senem Pirler, Desiree Foerster, Dominic Coles, and the University of Chicago Music Department.
Please note: The program for the Ars Electronica Festival 2025 is still in progress.
We are currently preparing all the information for the website and plan to put the full program online in the coming days – stay tuned!
