OPTOFONICA CAPSULE was designed in collaboration with TeZ in order to experience surround sound

and moving images by artists, who work in the field of sound spatialization.

Find out more about the project and visit WWW.OPTOFONICA.COM

 

The capsule can be adjusted in height by the visitor with a touch interface. You can select clips by the artists and enjoy

a journey of abstraction composed of sound and image.

Five panels made of carbon fiber / honeycomb sandwich produce a lightweight surface that resonates sound waves

using tactile sound tranducers. A computer and amplifier are built into the floor as well as a tactile sub woofer.
