GRIDSpace V The GRID installations are a series of tactile generative sound spaces that create a collaborative sonic environment between the audience and composer/artist.Ê In this way the audience uses the tactile sensors to shape their environment through movement. The GRID typically consists of a series of tactile or infrared sensing devices that create seed event data which is sent to an algorithmically-based music program.Ê However, in many cases, the sonic palette is not only tonal, but often atonal or environmental in nature, creating unique opportunities for gallery visitors to 'explore' the sonic terrain of the generative environment.Ê Such an installation has transformative qualities, and frequently presents the possibility of creating an engaging sonic atmosphere to a gallery space.
