A Sensory Urban Instrument<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The city is an electrifying fray, a maddening web of cacophony that connects every one of us to every one of others. How can we find solace in a world that doesn\u2019t stop?<\/p>\n

PULSUS<\/a> is an ambient, interactive, and experimental installation, a collaborative project between INVIVIA and the Harvard GSD Responsive Environments and Artifacts Lab. Molded and folded from concrete, PULSUS acts as an urban instrument that reflects the pulses of its surroundings wherever it is installed. Here in front of Gund Hall, the instrument collects GSD dialogues in real-time, blends them with current digital activity in Cambridge, and reinterprets the mix into an immersive and playful soundscape. The concrete blankets, as they hum to every small fluctuation in activity, encourage visitors to relax and tune in to the GSD chatter.<\/p>\n
