It is open and permanently set in Budapest few months back and it has been founded by a collective of engineers, researchers and artists 4DSOUND, which since 2008 continuously work on the development of space and sound technology. Production and reproduction of sound using hardware and software has changed our sound and space-sound perception, and that is why the potential and influence of this system some compare to the invention of the sound system. Also, our partners from 4DSOUND have recognized the work of multimedia artist Davor Sanvincenti, who is momentarily at the institute on a three week residence; and his work we will see and hear during the trip!
