Sonic Sphere is a laboratory of the senses, an inter-active architecture of sound, light and movement that charts the edges of experience and consciousness. This revolutionary new architectural space features immersive, 3-D sound and light explorations of music by boundary-pushing artists.Within the sphere, you are surrounded by more than 100 speakers that move sound above, below, through, and around your body. Sound and light waves are sculpted into spatialized, temporal architectures. Together, they create hyperreal and deeply multisensory, shared experiences.Sonic Sphere is the creation of artists Ed Cooke, Merijn Royaards, and Nicholas Christie, alongside the Sonic Sphere team.
