lang="en-GB"> </span></font><font color="#000000"><span
lang="en-GB">based on the analysis of the acoustics of space
as a signpost for designing sound while taking into account
the “site-specific” conditions. The author explores
perception through physical properties of electronic sound
in relation to the environment in which it is created, by
means of which he wishes to inform the visitor about the
aesthetics of the so-called “space sound”. The sound
sculpture, like a frequency generator, is comprised of
modules – temporary sound systems. Through experimental
electro-chemical levers, these systems form a hybrid
electro-acoustic whole as a rhizomatic sound system, which
maps the architecture of sound in space. Electric impulses
travel through a series of fluid substances and combine into
sound stimuli. The sculpture emits a dynamic frequency
selection of waves, which change with regard to the
oscillation of value between electricity and chemical
processes of the present reagents, through which the system
is becoming a living organism. In so doing, the author makes
possible random options for ever new configurations of the
event, established on the basis of electric impulses and
sound perception in space.</span></font></font> <br>
<br>
</font> <font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3"><span
lang="en-GB">In a rhizomatic system, which operates without
the author and lives its own life, the synthesis of sound in
space becomes a political subject, which moves away from
hierarchical structures of sound compositions. When sound is
divorced from the origin and travels through space, the
viewer, who is exposed to the trajectory of sounds, gains
information about the interconnectedness of sound contents
because, through movement, the viewer simultaneously perceives
sounds that are aimed in different directions. The visitor
becomes part of the architecture, an interspace and a barrier,
within which he finds himself in the position of an acoustic
element in the journey of sound through space.</span></font> <br>
