Thresholds Installation
ThesHolds was an interactive installation that integrated nine computers, eight speakers, and eight screens within a responsive environment. The work utilized accelerometer data from a mobile phone to drive real-time interactions between sound, image, and physical movement. Installed on the second floor of the Generative Type Experiments exhibition.
The project was developed using openFrameworks for the visual component and Max for the spatial audio system. The installation was created at The American University in Cairo, Sharjah Gallery in February and exhibited from March 1st - 8th, 2026.
ThesHolds transformed the gallery space into an immersive audiovisual environment in which audience gestures influenced the evolving sonic and visual experience. In this image, students experiencing the space during a class visit to discuss the project and system design.
