Sound Affects

The Sonos exhibition was intended as an immersive series of environments employing strategies of metamorphic architecture. An emotional connection between music, space, and pattern is experienced by the audience as their bodies move throughout Sonos Studio. Projections and materials distort and misrepresent form, creating three somewhat indeterminate environments: serene, playful, and explosive. The explosive atmosphere is constantly fragmenting through patterning and the inversion of form and shadow.

A vivacious and unpredictable environment is created in the playful space’s pink reflective insides, while the “serene” space remains comfortable, soft and stable. These material and spatial effects manifest sound as pattern, light, shadow, and color, simultaneously dematerializing the crystalline forms. While maintaining a sense of the whole, these forms delineate an open gathering zone while enclosing an informal lounge, a workshop area, and an event zone.
