Waveguide consists of three objects with directional speakers and moving arms. Each directional speaker throws a beam of white noise. As visitors move about in a space, they are caught in an acoustic cross-fire produced by three directional speakers mounted in the ceiling of the room. As these directional speakers attached to the moving arms continually fire off white noise, they appear to rotate, changing positions. The produced sounds bounce off the surfaces of the space, creating an ever-changing maze of reflections; an acoustic swell of spatial gradients as the listeners wander between ever shifting collimated beams of sounds.
