ORDnoise featured in ORD: Documenting the Definitive Modern Airport
at the Chicago Architecture Foundation

ORDnoise complements the exhibition’s visual material with aural atmospherics sampled from O’Hare. It is a responsive sound installation programmed to adapt to the number of visitors in the gallery. The patterns and layers of sound are dynamically controlled by video tracking which modulates the volume and range of acoustic output in response to the movement of visitors to the exhibition. Responses range from silence or a dull background noise when the gallery is sparsely populated to a full-blown soundscape sampling O’Hare’s various acoustic environments when the gallery is full.
