The Scapes iPhone app is the front-end for a sound art installation by Halsey Burgund exhibited at the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA.

It is designed to work fully only while at the museum, so using the app while anywhere else will result in an incomplete experience...sorry!

========================

Scapes augments the physical landscape of the park with a location-sensitive layer of audio. This audio layer contains a mixture of instrumental music and spoken voices - contributed by participants - both of which are influenced by the participants location within the sculpture park. As such, the participants body becomes the primary mode of interaction with this project; as they move through the park, they control how their individual audioscape unfolds by shifting the instrumental music and "running into" audio left by other participants.
