With fifty different geometric shapes Floris Vanhoof creates an orchestra of speakers, the newest instrument in his growing collection around the research of our perception. The installation “Polyhedra” sends a cloud of sounds through space. The different volumes and spatial placement of the objects provide an intense listening experience: every speaker translates the sound differently. The spatial circulation of sound through the speakers, combined with the natural musical movements, take the audience on a voyage of sounds along the sculptures.
