Shifting - HighPass_360VR_Ambisonics Original

Shifting is a series of audiovisual experiments which explore the human ability to conceive perceptual environments out of ambiguous and abstract stimuli.
Spontaneous and irresistible illusions are provoked by a disruption of the causal relation between sound and visual motion.Thus starts a journey across imagined surroundings, a dynamic process invoking internal projections. The work heavily relies on the observer's imagination and capacity to render realities.

Shifting- High-Pass​
This experiment plays with the idea of how we can perceive the same sound differently depending on the context and on our current and ever changing priorities and interests.
The sounds recorded for this experiment reveals that depending on where our attention is focusing at a given moment, cars on a Highway ( busy sounds) can sound like waves breaking on the beach (calming sounds) or leaves been smashed by a bicycle can sound like boiling water. Depending on the context, the same sonic components can mean completely different things.

The format of this version is 360VR/Ambisonics (which can be easily converted to dome projection or multiple projection setups and surround sound)
