Our client Hyundai is an official partner of the Olympic Games and a pioneer in the field of fuel cell technology. The renowned British architect Asif Khan built a pavilion for the occasion that allows the complex technology to be experienced in an artistic way.

„From a distance, the structure looks like a window looking into the depths of space. The dye Vantablack makes it possible, as it absorbs 99% of the incident light.“

Inside is an exhibition whose exhibits consist of sunlight and water drops. 25,000 drops per minute are shot through the room by tiny water pumps, forming a lake. The atmosphere is charged with energy and at the same time as quiet as in a Zen garden.

Our assignment was to transform the Hyundai Pavilion into an immersive experience through acoustic staging. We installed 6 individual soundscapes on 24 channels in the rooms. You can hear underwater recordings of finest air bubbles, powerful sounds based on the Shepard scale, a scale that never stops rising. And a concert grand piano, whose sound sweeps through the building like a warm wind thanks to convolution reverb technology. Each room tells its own story.
