MONOM

With the opening of MONOM at the historic Funkhaus Berlin, Berlin gains an experimental performance venue and state of the art spatial sound studio. At the heart of MONOM is the 4DSOUND system, brought to life by a collective of engineers and over 100 artists during a decade long period of research, experimentation and public performances. This one of a kind instrument immerses up to 400 people inside 48 omnidirectional speakers suspended throughout the venue, extending to 9 powerful subs submerged beneath an acoustically transparent floor. MONOM commissions artist residencies and public performances that will explore the possibilities of spatial sound as an expressive medium. Beyond unprecedented realtime control over sounds parameters, 4DSOUND pioneers the harmonious integration with any and all interfaces – movement, light, virtual augmented reality, bio-feedback, metric or brainwave - providing an opportunity for artists to collaborate and combine sensory dimensions - in effect to compose, and perform a live ecosystem. MONOM will use this powerful integration as a summons to bring together not only sonic artists and musicians across genre and styles but also artists and technologists across disciplines –- making MONOM also one of the world's premier immersive experience laboratories.
