Published: 11 May 2024 Publication History

Editorial Notes

Abstract

Maelstrom is a spatial instrument that combines projection with interactive spatial audio, performed by the audience in the experience area. It is an installation that focuses on visual and acoustic pattern recognition, serving as a tool for individuals to navigate environments overwhelmed by messages. It provides audio-guided experiences, allowing the audience to make decision based on different audio cues and explore visuals as maps developed by a generative model of artificial intelligence. This project attempts to challenge the sensory hierarchy and accessibility within immersive technologies, questioning the cognitive capabilities of the human brain.
