Developing a multi-performative Interactive Acoustic System for the Science Center.
Problem statement
Primary:
1. Lessen the sound in the building by absorption
Secondary:
Encourage the visitors to be more quiet (especially children)
Give expression to the acoustics of the Science Center
Concept
The concept is composed of the following aspects:
Acoustic properties
- Sound ceiling with acoustic properties, passes down data to the LED painting
Time layers
- Short term layer (mostly interesting for children)
- Long term layer (mostly interesting for adults)
Reflection
- Paint a picture of the sound over the long-term
Inspiration
"Whisper - Whispering makes the children curious. They want to know if something secret is going on. Whispering gets their attention much more than yelling." [1]
“If you interrupt us while we’re talking, we will not respond. Learn to pay attention.” [2]
Soundless rooms
Nature, trees, plants, animals reacting to children (Mittal Children’s Medical Centre at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital)
Acoustic ceilings
Record sounds based on people's height using different sensors
Pixelated animals walking across LED screens, living/whispering in the silence
Whispering ceiling, intensify sound
Dandelion: sound installation from Roland Maurmair. The dandelion says 'pssh' to encourage visitors to come closer, and shushes when the visitors make too much sound.[3]
First concept
Revised concept: heatmapping acoustic ceiling, static while there is sound, waves when there is no sound
First sketch impression
