Atlas is an interactive sound object that uses a steering wheel to navigate through pre-recorded sound scapes. The name Atlas is inspired from cartography as the science of making geographic maps, but translates the geographic surface into a sonic landscape, where the device can be used to explore the sounds and the recordings as cartographic material. Thereby the speed of the interaction, e.g. the turning of the wheel, affects the navigation through the sonic material which is pitched up and down accordingly.

For the exhibition Atlas was navigating through a pre-recorded sound scape derived from paper and cardboard as material and the manual interaction with it. The duration of the recording is 1:40 minutes.
