Name of the group: black hole

Why we chose this name: Black hole  is a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping.[1] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole.(wikipedia)

Idea: the concept for the first presentation was to take our spectators on a journey. We wanted them to travel through listening to sound and soundscapes. The experience of being in two different places at the same time was one of point we wanted to experience. We asked the group to take each others hands to make a connection between them and led into a very small room to have a feeling of being very close to each other and being squished in a room. The plan was in reality not that elaborated because the people felt very uncomfortable in hot and sticky room without air. Unfortunately we had to cancel the experiment after a short amount of time. It was really interesting to see the reaction of the people involved.

Listen to the soundscapes now:
