Mark Bain’s The Archisonic performs
Collective Action

Using various arrays of seismological sensors placed throughout the building The Archisonic turns architecture into giant sonic instruments. Played live through large sound systems and injected with various bits of waveform material, the force of the building is driven within and tuned to maximal affect. As you move around, nodes and anti-nodes develop throughout, the composition arrives in the individual and within the collective action taken inside the space.
