sonic surrounds

New Constellations: Art, Science and Society – an international conference charting the ways in which art and science are gravitating towards one another within contemporary culture.

The Conference will present the latest thinking about collaboration between artists and scientists and examine how the worldwide trend towards interdisciplinary engagement is changing the definitions, methodologies and practices they use and how they view the social implications of their work.

The soundscape is a three-dimensional world of sound composed of live and recorded audio. Sounds are assigned to specific virtual locations, and are broadcast to the user’s headphones as if they actually inhabited that space.
