COMPUTING COMPONENTS By connecting elements from the base sensor patch to the base speaker patch, values were sent from the former to control the latter.

base sensor patch
DESCRIPTION Proximity to speakers affect audio volume/track rate. Person who is backlit walks toward speakers. He casts shadows towards speakers. The closer the person gets to the speaker, the more defined/darker his shadow is on the speaker. The light/darkness intensity of his shadow affect values perceived by the sensors taped on top of the speaker. These sensor values affect the audio volume & track rate.
OBJECTIVE To experiment with spatial mapping through the audioscape - akin to how bats “see” with echoes; our hearing can give us cues to the characteristics of a space.
