Knowbotic Research,
of Koeln, Germany, <kr+cf@khm.uni-koeln.de>
has created SMDK - an architectural sound environment composed of digital sounds
collected from
composers and musicians internationally. Using a digitally sensitised "wand,"
visitors physically search and discover sound clusters within the environment,
creating their own orientation system within an interactive database.
Co-sponsored by the
Goethe Institute.

Within the SMDK virtual environment individual sounds and sound groups are
represented
by geometric shapes visible to onlookers outside of the virtual space.
A quick movie (280k) demonstrates what onlookers experience.
