Curator's Statement
Boom...stroke...aaaaeeeehhhh...swing...crash...push...beeep! We struggle to put sonic interactions into words - and that is why an exhibition with real exam- ples of sonic interaction design is the best way to experience this new field of research. It allows you to get your hands - and ears - on interactive works that showcase how sound can facilitate interaction in product design, mobile media, communicating scientific data, interactive art, and more.
