With Worlds / Graz, Sounding Future realises a walkable sound installation in the courtyard of the Volkskundemuseum. Visitors receive headphones and a tracking module, with which they move through the interactive sound worlds of three internationally outstanding 3D audio composers.

Natasha Barrett transposes an astrophysical puzzle into the acoustic realm in The Missing Dark Matter: in 2018, galaxies were discovered in which dark matter — the invisible substance that holds galaxies together — is simply absent.

Gerriet Krishna Sharma realises with Limenfeld an idea Edgard Varèse formulated in 1936 but was unable to realise: sound not as a temporal line, but as a spatial mass with zones of intensity through which one moves.

Otto Iivari takes as his starting point in Block Universe the physical notion that time is not a flow but a dimension. Iivari creates a space in which past, present, and future are present simultaneously as sound strata that can be traversed on foot.
