360° SOUND

Samsung 360° sound is a physical installation 'experiment' inspired by the qualities of Samsung’s wireless audio 360° speaker range. A spatial sound-reactive instrument that creates architecture and movement from light, drawn from a single sound source in the centre of the room.

Visualising the speaker’s omni-directional sound field, the installation’s behaviour is influenced by the movement and frequencies of audio throughout the space. Using 410 laser diodes and a laser, a system was created that would analyse a score by Aidan Lavelle (UNKLE) in real-time and translate individual frequencies into a visual.

The sound experiment featured in a 30-second promo as well as a behind-the-scenes short film that to date has received in excess of 2.2 million views on YouTube and counting.
