For 2012th edition of the Kernel Festival, Tigrelab was invited to take part with a dedicated piece. The festival is famous for mixing electronic music, audiovisual mapping, digital and interactive art. In honor of it, we created the “Visual Sound Building”. It was an interactive video mapping controlled by the audience using tablets and smartphones. It was projected on the north facade of the villa Titoni Traverse in Desio, close to Milan (Italy).

As if it were a giant synthesiser, the windows of the villa act as buttons that activate and deactivate the sounds of the musical composition and modify the algorithm that generates the visuals. The façade thereby becomes a tool for musical and visual creation which is controlled entirely by the audience using three tablets or their mobile devices.
