One of the first fine-art AR projects based on a realized sculpture to combine animation, collage and archival footage into an explorative interactive soundscape. It presents our near future, a period of global unrest and environmental destruction, spurred by raging flood waters and massive wildfires. Humanity is faced with a choice: living in ignorance or uniting to preserve what's left of our planet.

Prod. The Department of Motion Pictures, Vrai Pictures
Off. sel. Sundance Film Festival, SXSW


An immersive live-streamed audio-video work exploring the universal influence of sound, weaving seven specific audio recordings into a meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception.

“Reporters often look to festival lineups to find stories that might work as metaphors or trends; this year, the most appropriate opportunity came from [Sundance’s] New Frontier...Green offers eloquent observations on the need to listen to the world to forge a deeper connection, particularly in times of profound isolation.”

Traverse is a platform for free-roaming spatial audio experiences. Using a mobile device and audio-driven AR technology, each Traverse experience takes an audio recording and makes it something you can physically move through. You can explore a sound field as you like. You can hear things from another perspective. You can walk towards or away from the singer, or the drummer, or the audio engineer. You can witness a mix morph and change around you as you move through it. You can go back in time or travel into another dimension. All this happens through powerful immersive audio – and from the comfort of wherever you are. Welcome to the next steps in listening.

Winner of the Special Jury Prize for “Future of Experience” at SXSW and part of Bose AR’s early developer program.

“Forget VR headsets: The next frontier for immersive storytelling may be your headphones.”

“When I hit play, I was surrounded by the opening guitar riff of ‘Suspicious Minds’ and, almost immediately, took a step back as I heard Elvis belting vocals right in front of me. As I walked around, it was almost like I was moving among the ghosts of Elvis and his crew -- if I really wanted to focus on the drums or horns, I just had to move left or right. And when I turned around, every bit of the song moved with me.”
