Become aware of your surroundings with an enhanced tunnel experience

Tunnels pretty much always lead to another place. When people go through tunnels in public spaces it is usually a microscopic part of their journey from A to B. Mentally, the modern person is on a path with their focus and consciousness directed towards the end of the tunnel. This work came out of this idea and has the intention of exposing the potential desensitisation people have to their surroundings in the public space. A multi-channel setup with downward-facing speakers and directional microphones will pick up the sounds of passersby and their surroundings, feeding the sound to speakers at the other end of the tunnel and vice versa.
