A spatial installation that initially seems abstract and enigmatic invites direct and haptic interaction. The landscape on the playing field is expanded by spatially perceptible soundscapes. By pressing the stones, players can navigate through the landscape in an immersive experience and discover imaginary worlds that are created solely through sounds.


Each field symbolizes a position in a virtual space that is made audibly perceptible via headphones. Dynamic sound sources and interactive elements make it possible to explore environments inspired by nature: water, caves, ice, forest and meadows ...

An application running in the background, invisible to users, generates dynamic soundscapes.
Up to two players perceive the same auditory environment from opposite perspectives.
