Elsewhere

VR/360-degree sound installation (2017). 10 min.
Selected piece for ‘Sculpting Sound 2017 - Sound Scene’, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC

Elsewhere is an immersive sound installation. In this 360-degree piece, we contemplate the journey of many people around the world who flee from dissonance, noise, and discord in their homelands that take the form of wars, violence, social upheaval, hunger, famine, floods, and other horrors, in search of a better life. A collaboration between Michael Austin and Mona Kasra.

This piece was experienced using a smartphone and Google Cardboard (or other VR viewer). The audio file can be accessed here.
