SONIC TOTEM

Interactive sound sculpture
Floy Krouchi, 2019

Sonic Totem is a sculpture of wood, metal and horn, which incorporates a series of interactive speakers. The Totem is in the middle of a virtual circular space, around which the viewer can turn 360 °. The space is divided into four zones, recalling the four cardinal points and the four primordial elements. The Totem wears a circular ring of ultrasonic distance sensors that analyze motion and trigger and modulate sound sequences according to procedures between necessity and randomness.
