A unique collaboration between VoxNovus / Robert Voisey and Harvestworks in New York City to create a 5.1 surround sound mix, this 60×60 presentation will be premiered at Harvestworks’ multichannel TEAMLab listening room
It was first perfomed at Harvestworks in New York on May 16th 2014 and later at the Jack Straw New Media Gallery in Seatle on 29th October 2014.
