Action and Perception in Interactive Sound Installations : An Ecological Approach

Jan C. Schacher

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

In this paper mappings and adaptation in the context of interactive sound installations are discussed. Starting from an ecological perspective on non-expert audience interaction a brief overview and discussion of mapping strategies with a special focus on adaptive systems using machine learning algorithms is given. An audio-visual interactive installation is analyzed and its implementation used to illustrate the issues of audience engagement and to discuss the efficiency of adaptive mappings.
