DESCRIPTION:Image Credits Fennesz: Kevin Westenberg\nNovember 30 | 4.30 – 6 pm\nDecember 7 | 4.30 – 6 pm\nDezember 14 | 4.30 – 6 pm\nDecember 21 | 4.30 – 6 pm\nRSVP for each date here ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/refocus-austria-event-series-area-fennesz-plays-nous-sonic-tickets-474249421787 ).\nWearing a mask throughout the event is recommended.\n \nThis series of events will take place within the framework of the ReFocus Austria Initiative.\nAbout ReFocus Austria\nReFocus Austria is an ongoing campaign of the Austrian government to support and rebuild the Austrian economy across the globe while the world emerges from the pandemic. It is carried out by the Austrian Ministry for European and International Affairs ( https://www.bmeia.gv.at/en/ ) in cooperation with the Austrian Chamber of Commerce ( https://www.wko.at/service/Austrian-Economic-Chambers.html )’s international offices, the Austrian National Tourist Office ( https://b2b.austria.info/us/ ), and representatives of other federal ministries to open doors for Austrian companies abroad, and to secure and create jobs and investment in Austria itself. The campaign focuses on the core pillars upon which Austria’s economy will be built in the future: renewable energy, e-mobility, sustainability, digital transformation, infrastructure, urban technology, and tourism. All over the world, the “Made in Austria” label is synonymous with quality and reliability, as well as world-class design, engineering, and craftsmanship.\n \nAbout the Event\nAt our event you get to experience and see the nexus between Culture, Music, Innovation and Business unfold. What does that mean?\nYou will be able to try out the innovative Austrian tech-product, namely NOUS Sonic ( https://www.noussonic.com/what-it-is#nous-sonic-headphones ). NOUS Sonic is a very precise indoor-locating-headphone-system, originally developed for museum-purposes, that can be used for a unique augmented listening experience. You can witness the Theater of the Austrian Cultural Forum New York transform into a music studio in which you can individually experience an interactive sound installation by the well-known Austrian electronic musician Christian Fennesz ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennesz ) with the NOUS Sonic headphones.\nDisclaimer: The sounds are pre-installed, this is not a live performance by the artist. But you get to be your own artist by creating your very own sound mixes, simply by walking through and looking around the theater. Sounds cool right?\n \nAugmented Listening / Sound Installation\n“AREA“: The well known Austrian electronic musician Christian Fennesz composed an interactive piece of electronic music, which is individually perceived by the audience, using the world new system NOUS Sonic. By moving and viewing around (move- and gaze sensitive system) within an empty, darkened room at the Theater of the ACFNY, each listening participant is individually creating its own audio- experience, mixing Fennesz’ music by individual movements and views, hearing it exclusively in realtime via headphone.\nInteractive multi-channel installation\nNOUS Sonic is specially designed to bring the audience’ experience to a strongly immersive level: Fennesz composed a multi-channel-piece, using electronic sounds, field recordings and effect-tracks. With the NOUS Sonic Configurator, those tracks will be virtually located by Fennesz within the ACFNY Theater: The audience is moving and viewing within those areas and is thereby creating and hearing individually re-mixed and real-time-processed audio via headphone:\n\nHigh-End electronic music from Austria meets high-end technology from Austria\nInnovation and audience engagement\nAudience participation (individually life-re-mixing)\n\nEngage the space/audience – individually immersive experience\nBased on Fennesz’ composition, the ACFNY-Theater turns into a studio setting: The audience is individually exploring the composition as well as the artists’ audio-allocations within the Theater: The technology provided by NOUSdigital allows to refer directly to the room-setting of the ACFNY-Theater, the 3D-areas defined by Fennesz will correspond to spatial specifications:\n\nDirectly engaging the audience (individually live re-mixing by moving and viewing)\nReferencing the Theater of ACFNY (by location-specific defining the different sound-areas)\n\n \nAbout NOUS Sonic Headphones \n\n\nThe headphones are the visitors tool for the auditory experience, they allow excellent sound quality and accurate high speed indoor positioning. A lightweight clip on/clip off module is specially designed to fit on a wide range of headphones including three different options: On- Ear, Over-Ear and Off-Ear which ensures visitors not to be isolated from the surroundings. The NOUS Sonic sensor module weighs less than 100 g and is covered by fabric that’s easily replaceable & washable. While the navigation electronic is always on top of the headphone, the sound is rendered in a mobile device like an iPod touch. Image Credit: NOUS Sonic\n\n \n \n \nThe series of events is a cooperation between NOUSdigital Vienna and the Austrian Cultural Forum New York Within the framework of ReFocus Austria.
