The Centre for Music and Technology at the Helsinki University of the Arts, in collaboration with the cultural center STOA, brings an immersive sound installation to the Iiris Institute.

The installation provides a public listening space where visitors and musicians meet to experience sound in a special environment.
The surround-sound setup consists of a dome-shaped wooden structure carrying 29 speakers that incite an immersive acoustic experience.

Activities in the installation include listening exhibitions for sound art works, public meetings with discussions around sound and listening, and the creation of new works by students and university staff inspired and influenced by the context of the institute.

Between these activities, the listening installation can be visited independently or with a guide, coordinated directly with the IIRIS institute.

Iiris is open Mon-Fri 8am-6pm.
