MKLAVE Implementation Phase started
After the conception phase based on an idea for the new MKL strategy the Medien Kunst Labor Auditory Virtual Environment project entered the implementation phase.
Sound and music is recognized as a spatial and sculptural phenomenon ever since the Renaissance, although only the currently available technologies of new media allow (beside the arbitrary 3-dimensional distribution of sound) the creation of whole sound-environments. An Auditory Virtual Environment (AVE) is a virtual environment (VE) that focuses on the auditory domain only. It sees itself independent from other modalities like vision and tactility. The mklAVE project aims at a reference-implementation of an AVE for media-art rooms.
The implementation started beginning on MAY with special developped Speaker for MKL from CAST.
