Machine learning to find meaningless patterns in the dynamics of ambiguous datapoints, creating its own language. However their interpretation with a meaningless language holds some ground truth (soundscape reacting to the dynamics of a space). AI can interpret its own meaning

Son-O-House Sensors



Twenty three sensors are spread over the building. They are meant to detect the movements of the visitors from one location to another location. The sensors are not doing a very precise position sensing but are meant to generate statistical information about the visitors. The result in a measurement that creates distribution maps of the activity of the visitors over the building. This information is used to influence the sound. The more activity on one location the faster the sounds transform in that region.

Leitner's empirical investigations were not just about technical calibration but were fundamentally about understanding the profound and often subtle ways sound interacts with the human body and perception to create new forms of spatial experience. His insistence on full-scale, experiential testing was crucial for curating the unique qualities of his sound-spaces.

Think of the "interior space" not just as a physical container, but as a site of fluctuating *intensities* (light, heat, sound, presence, movement, air quality). The Modum captures these flows. The vector space acts as a *plane of consistency* or *immanence* where these intensities interact before being fully "organized" or stratified by perception or traditional structures. The generated soundscape *is* the emergent, dynamic, ever-becoming "Body without Organs" of the space – resisting fixed form, constantly in flux, expressing pure potential and intensity.

Digital Acoustic Cartography

Nowadays everything is transformed into information, which is to say into states of matter by the intermediaries of materials and apparatuses, and it is this which makes everything controllable at the level of the nanometer and the nanosecond.

Soundscape blends between each other based on data. High variance or specific data combinations could automatically push the soundscape towards more rhythmic complexity, while stability pulls it towards pure ambience.
