Three diagonal strategies for a sound installation

The idea for a sound installation in an art gallery began as a collaboration which aimed to integrate ideas of sound spatialization and the manipulation of spatial perception from an architectural point of view. The challenge was to apply and test concepts common both to space and sound in a way that would fit a selected location. The location chosen for this purpose was Galerie PI, located in Copenhagen, Denmark, consisting of two connected rooms where exhibitions take place on a daily basis (Galerie PI, 2004). In accordance with this motivation, three main strategies were designed to actualize the idea of sound in a space containing visual art components. The objective of these strategies was to explore the possibilities of spatial awareness through the overcoming of normal parameters, both in the physical space and in created sound fields.
