A Resolume Arena rendered environment that responds to the sound levels in the exhibition room with an ambisonic Zoom microphone. A sparse sound clip of bird sound accompanies the space to prevent the space from being too quiet and to round out the full presentation in its completion at over eight minutes of viewing time, though the visuals will be different and generative for every presentation. It uses xeno-canto.org for sound clip downloads, Premier Pro to edit the sound c

This research project will examine how soundscapes captured in alpine regions can promote the expansion of environmental awareness practices to encompass survival, protection, and appreciation. It aims to record audio clips of natural ecosystems for editing and comparison of anthrophony-free sound to provoke a deeper understanding of human impact and relationship to nature. It will also demonstrate how soundscape recordings can be accompanied by data-driven short auditory cue

The intent of this research project is to expand environmental awareness practices as means of survival, protection, and appreciation. Environmental awareness is increasingly vital in sustaining the lives of humankind as well as Earth and its ecosystems. Modern capitalistic approaches to sustainability will not matter if there is no longer a habitat for humankind. By collecting data from an environment over the course of field excursions and transcoding them into sonic signi

This research project will be conducted with field expeditions to the alpine regions of Colorado for audio sample collection over the course of Winter in 2022 and 2023. The technical hardware necessary for the field research aspects of this project includes recording devices for deployment and active use as well as a global positioning system with a compass. The Garmin eTrex 32x global positioning system (GPS) can be used to record waypoints and routes, with time and distance

By focusing my research on psycho-ecoacoustics, the exploration will uncover the connection between auditory experience in hearing-abled persons and environmental awareness in the practices of surviving, protecting, and appreciating the environment. Collecting recordings of ecological soundscapes in the alpine regions of Colorado will provide many examples for clear comparisons, as well as the intersections, of the natural and built environments. Clearing sound clips of the m

THE BIRTH OF DIGITAL AUDIO In the year 1877, audio recording and reproduction launched through Thomas Edison’s discovery of the cylinder phonograph when attempting to transcribe telegraphic messages. [1] Audio technology quickly adapted, while staying within the limits of recording and playback, next to the gramophone in around 1887 which incorporated flat spinning disks rather than the indented cylinders. The disks allowed music to be more easily mass-produced and thus in

As the integration of digital practices into human societies continues to rapidly increase, it is imperative that the design of consumer-facing interfaces and user experiences reflect the diverse needs of every user. Reconstructing e-commerce to better imitate what the consumer values when shopping becomes necessity, especially when those values differ from the historically practiced. Those values, according to Rui Tian , COO at Ombori Grid, have changed from the cheapest and

While imagining how society on Earth can better benefit in accessibility, inclusivity, sustainability, and diversity, it would be unfavorable to continue with Bauhausian mass production styles especially with the new growing generation finding preference in bespoke, or haute couture, style design and fashion. To better meet the needs of the differences in each individual on the planet, 3D and AR capabilities can be used to try in space, customize, resize, and save resources w
