Join our webinar about idea and concepts for art installations, where sound and sound design plays a crucial narrative role. We will be exploring the technical and physical aspects of installing sound in a room, storytelling with sound design and a historical look at how sound collections and soundscapes can be used as a time marker and culture indicator.

 

For over 15 years, Yoke has stood as a prominent design studio specializing in exhibition and experience design for both cultural and commercial entities. Simon Marxen will delve into selected projects, highlighting Yokes expertise in crafting captivating multisensory experiences – emphasizing on the ability to seamlessly meld powerful visual and auditory elements, bridging the gap between physical spaces and digital installations.

Most of the exhibitions at Moesgaard Museum, designed by Moesgaard Museum´s Exhibition Design Studio, are using scenography and technology to create immersive environments supporting the learning processes and the overall museum experience. Johan Ahrenfeldt will be talking about how sound design can be used to elevate the exhibition experience. He will discuss the creation process and production method, also addressing technical aspects such as audio formats, hardware and infrastructure.
