Abstract:
Sonic City is an interactive work that explores themes of man’s dislocation with nature and the social tensions inherent in urban living in an imaginative, engaging way. Users interact with a custom-made iPad app to wirelessly play audio loops that, in turn, generate animation loops within the Sonic City. There are 6 touch inputs on the app that correlate to various sound and animation loops, which are projection mapped onto medium scale custom-build surfaces in a unique use of the technology. It’s narrative focuses on the tensions that exist on the fringes of this society between the magical/otherworldly elements and the other, regular people.
