Keynote: Sounding Public Space: Sound Artists in the Public Domain

The right to quiet has been defined as a public commons (Franklin, 1993). Public space in Australia is becoming increasingly sound designed. This presentation investigates the variety of approaches by sound artists who have installed public space drawing on the three year ARC Australian Sound Design Project's research, website, http://www.sounddesign.unimelb.edu.au and public outreach Hearing P...

A Series of Three Mixed Reality Workshops: Sounding Out – Sound in Mixed Reality Environment

The second workshop in the series of practical mixed reality workshops, defined in Workpackage 7b.1, focusses on sound. This is the topic with which most of the eRENA partners have to deal: finding technical and aesthetic solutions for sound, within an image oriented mixed environment. Virtual (and mixed) reality environments often lack a convincing solution for all aspects of sound. The worksh...

Sounding Off

Networked communications accord the voice renewed spatial significance. How does the mobile phone influence the use and design of spaces? The conventions for modulating the voice in face-to-face exchanges are well established. But in the case of mobile communications the voice may be raised to abnormal levels. The raised voice overcomes ambient interference, and spatial distance. The voice is a...

Sounding Objects

virtual environments, and information display applications need dynamic sound models rather than faithful audio reproductions. This implies three levels of research: auditory perception, physicsbased sound modeling, and expressive parametric control. Parallel progress along these three lines leads to effective auditory displays that can complement or substitute visual displays. W hen designing ...
