NEST, by Iregular
CONCEPT
NEST is a sound-focused digital artwork that changes the way we are used to experiencing interactive art.
As people enter the room, they notice a buzzing sound coming from a colony of flying insects living in harmony. As they curiously get closer to the NEST, their human presence disrupts the natural peace which activates the experience: it is the insects’ turn to disturb them until they step away from their habitat.
TECHNOLOGY
This project is the first to use SONAR, our new sound location technology. Combining our proprietary tracking system, directional ultrasonic speakers, robotic arms, and a very specific sound design, we can now create sound experiences that follow participants and expose every person in the very same room to a different sonic reality.
