Zuse - Computer Museum

The sound scenography bridges technological heritage and contemporary perception by combining historical accuracy with a present-day narrative sound language. In the Zuse-Computer-Museum Hoyerswerda, this approach supports a projection mapping on the Z22R by combining reconstructed machine sound with a contemporary 1960s-inspired acoustic aesthetic.

Zuse-Computer-Museum Hoyerswerda is dedicated to the development of information technology in the 20th century, especially to the father of modern computing Konrad Zuse. In addition to other interactive media installations in the permanent exhibition, we develop and designed the sound for a projection mapping onto one of Zuse's brain childs, the Z22R. The project asked for an accurate reproduction of the Z22R's original sound as well as for a contemporary audio aesthetic that evokes the period soundscape of the 1960s.
