SoundAffects NYC

SoundAffects is an interactive installation in the form of a wall with embedded sensors, cameras and light components, all installed on street level at 13th Street and 5th Avenue, New York City. The wall “listens” to the active sounds of the city that surrounds it–taxis, voices, footsteps, honking horns, jackhammers–as well as ambient stimuli created by the environment, such as rain drops, brightness, color, temperature and radio wave activity. The wall translates this real-time sensory input into a unique generative musical and light composition, which listeners can experience live at the wall itself and online at soundaffectsnyc.com.
