Currently in development, The Polyphonic Space Simulator (working title) is an acoustic-electronic, sonic sculpture which autonomously produces drones and frequencies in an installation space. The artwork is modelled after a device which is capable of simulating the fabric of reality within a limited domain, and asks the viewer to question the implications of standing in front of an object which is simulating the room around them. The artwork can be interacted with via two knobs on its front panel which change values for space and time or by musicians and performers around it whose actions may influence the nature of its vibrations.
