Generative soundscapes in exhibition spaces using wireless technologies: methods, implementation and prospects
Abstract
The article discusses the possibilities of creating generative soundscapes in exhibition spaces using wireless technologies. The auditory environment becomes an important element of the curatorial idea, enhancing the emotional perception and immersion of the audience in the context of the exhibition. Generative systems allow you to adapt sound scenarios depending on the behavior of visitors and the architecture of the space, and the use of wireless technologies such as BLE beacons and Wi-Fi opens up new horizons for the implementation of dynamic, interactive soundscapes. The article also discusses the prospects for further research, including the development of cross-platform acoustic solutions, personalized acoustic accompaniment, and applications in educational and cultural projects.
