Spatial A/V

Spatial A/V is an ongoing project series built around a 4-meter ambisonic structure: a dodecahedral frame equipped with 20 OTTOsonics speakers, a subwoofer, and up to ten projection surfaces. Originating from the DodekaOTTO research at the Tangible Music Lab (Linz, Austria) and inspired by Ben Wesch’s concept of Spatial Modulation, the work explores sound as a fully navigable medium, freed from conventional, directional spatialization.

By allowing audio sources to move at arbitrary speeds and in intricate trajectories, Spatial A/V composes with motion itself: slow, legible movements collide with synthetic, unfamiliar timbres, unfolding a tension between recognition and disorientation. As the system expands into light and projection, the dodecahedron becomes an extended audiovisual canvas, developed through a residency at WOW Signal Festival Vienna and a workshop at USTP Austria, guiding students toward audiovisual narratives across space, time and interaction, to be presented at Lucid Dreams Festival, May 2026.
