Compression: a Sound Installation for Web Browsers by Luc Döbereiner

This exposition presents a sound installation for web browsers titled Compression, which uses the listener’s audio set-up and creates a self-regulating audio feedback. In doing so it adapts itself to the particular sonorous and technological conditions of the listener’s environment. This exposition describes the installation, which has been developed especially for the Research Catalogue, and previous works of mine that are based on similar principles. Compression is thus both a new and independent work and a work that functions as a form of documentation of some of my previous works. It makes their principles and workings accessible, tangible, and experiential beyond their actual performance.
