Experiencing the Immersive Sound Systems of Wood Waste

ABOUT THE EVENT

This immersive session will showcase the creative work of artist, director, and composer Giorgio Magnanensi. He has crafted interconnected and interdependent sound systems using reclaimed sitka spruce, red cedar, and pacific maple wood slabs, which function as unique resonators resembling loudspeakers. Blending sound, aesthetics, and engineering, these resonators exemplify sustainable reuse. Participants will have the chance to immerse themselves in the various resonators' soundscapes, engage in a brief talk, and join a discussion about this innovative project.
