Guided by a friendly computer voice on an interactive dance floor, visitors step into an immersive music game. As visitors dance, the rules of music creation dynamically shift over time. This movement-driven, responsive soundscape builds on the kind of listening fluency described in our article How Games Trained Us to Listen—a literacy shaped by interactive worlds, where sound responds to every step and gesture. To progress to the next level, participants collaborate and intuitively discover different ways of musical expression.
The installation operates silently from the outside, relying solely on headphones for the full experience.
