    • 75: Contained — Michael Trommer

      • Description: Contained is an ambisonic/haptic virtual-reality sound installation that sonifies otherwise imperceptible electromagnetic, vibrational, and mnemonic emissions permeating everyday environments, inviting listeners to inhabit an unseen acoustic ecology.
      • Author bio: Michael Trommer is a Toronto-based sound-artist and acoustic-ecologist whose work spans field recording, VR environments, and site-responsive installation.

    • 274: Foresta-Inclusive: (ex)tending towards — Jane Tingley

      • Description: An interactive sculptural network of hanging "seed" forms that sense audience proximity, triggering generative sound and light to evoke speculative forest communication.
      • Author bio: Jane Tingley is a Canadian artist integrating sculpture, electronics, and data-driven media to explore ecological systems and embodied interaction.

    • 289: Liminal — Zhitao Lin

      • Description: Liminal immerses visitors in a shifting light-and-sound corridor whose boundaries blur through motion-tracking and granular synthesis, evoking thresholds between real and virtual space.
      • Author bio: Zhitao Lin is a multimedia composer based in Boston whose practice combines algorithmic sound design, responsive lighting, and architectural space.

    • 438: 24 Cards — William Turner-Duffin

      • Description: Twenty-four suspended acrylic panels each embed a transducer playing one channel of a spatial audio score; audience movement reshapes the perceived polyphony.
      • Author bio: William Turner-Duffin explores distributed loudspeaker arrays and participatory listening in gallery and outdoor contexts.

    • 508: Rings… Through Rings — Tak-Cheung Hui, Xiaoqiao Li, Chun Ting Vincent Chan

      • Description: Multi-channel audio guided by wearable gyroscope sensors flows through concentric tubular sculptures, creating evolving resonances as participants walk the rings.
      • Author bios: Collaborative trio of Hong Kong–based artists working at the intersection of kinetic sculpture, sensor networks, and spatialised sound.

    • 724: Summerland — Matthew Ostrowski

      • Description: A room-scale projection of vintage séance transcripts drives machine-learning-generated voices and spectral audio, reflecting on spiritualism and electronic mediation.
      • Author bio: Matthew Ostrowski is a New York electronic-music pioneer using real-time computing and archival media to examine memory and technology.

    • 874: the ground beneath our feet, the air inside our lungs — Matthew Azevedo

      • Description: Sub-bass transducers embedded in wooden floor panels transmit inaudible infrasonic field recordings; visitors feel geological vibrations coupled with diffused high-frequency air sounds.
      • Author bio: Matthew Azevedo is a Boston-based mastering engineer and composer investigating infrasonic perception and tactile sound.

    • 908: Entrainment — Shomit Barua

      • Description: Wave-driven LEDs and binaural beats synchronise light pulses and brainwave-mapped audio, inviting meditative states of neuro-physiological entrainment.
      • Author bio: Shomit Barua is a therapist-artist researching neurofeedback and immersive audiovisual therapy.

    • 920: MELT (topographic remix) — Betsey Biggs

      • Description: 3-D-printed glacier forms melt under heat lamps while contact-miked runoff modulates ambient recordings of Icelandic ice, drawing attention to climate loss.
      • Author bio: Betsey Biggs is an interdisciplinary artist-composer whose installations fuse landscape, storytelling, and community engagement.
