Sonic Sphere: a laboratory of consciousness
We believe that new ideas require new forms of consciousness and that a new laboratory of thought and feeling is called for. Sonic Sphere aims to be an unlimited instrument of empathy, one capable of conjuring new vistas of experience that can open the door to new modes of thought, feeling, and action in the world.
A new cultural space
Historically, cultural spaces, such as libraries, cinemas, and nightclubs, have been cornerstones of our cities, key to the dialogue that makes us human. As our cultures evolve, we think there is a need for new urban spaces that are experimental, experiential and communal.
A liberating technology
Technology can isolate us and drive us apart, reducing empathy and imagination. We need it to delight and inspire us, not just passively, but in ways that provoke action. Used in the right way and combined with the appropriate architecture, technology can bring us together and not in a way that impoverishes our freedom and creativity.
An evolutionary process
We are in the midst of an exponential age where society changes at an ever-increasing pace. To continue to serve us, our world needs to be just as dynamic. Sonic Sphere falls forward, each iteration aiming to double the magnificence of the previous, all built by an open, ever-evolving collective. Creativity increases with each step, as the horizon of possibility expands.
A playground for artists
Commercial pressures and lowering attention spans are pushing artists to the short form, not allowing them to explore ideas and themes fully. We want to create a format and economic model where artists can flourish, focusing on firing all our senses and creating significant memories that then shape our lives.
