A Private Space is a web-based sound-art project by Ross Whyte and Shenpen Chokyi. It is designed to allow visitors to ‘journey’ to various imagined locations on a map and experience surreal sonic environments. Each location’s soundscape is specifically designed to be listened to through headphones and juxtaposes binaural recordings of existing environments with composed ambient material. It is concerned with creating a subjective virtual ‘journey’ via an interactive graphic environment.
The site was officially launched as part of an exhibition including A Private Space artwork and music at Left Bank Gallery from 4th – 7th November as part of Sound Festival 2011.
A paper on the project was published in the University of Huddersfield CeReNeM Journal in March 2011. A link to the paper can be found here.
