House of Moiré presents a marriage of op-art and immersion. In this linear, non-game and atmospheric piece, the visitor advances through rooms of an otherworldly home, choosing where to pause, look and listen as the surrounding architecture and sound objects reveal themselves.

TREATING SPACE AS AN INSTRUMENT

House of Moiré is the culmination of various iterations of Moiré, a series of A/V works that explore fascinations with psycho-acoustics, sound spatialization, sensory illusion, and real-time virtual environments. Experimental and surreal, House of Moiré invites a temporary escape into an alternative space. It is made with custom audio software, depth cameras, motion capture, and interactive design principles.
