synthesis gallery presents Sound Becomes Site: Symphony for the Metaverse. A modular pavilion constructed on the occasion of The Wrong Biennale, Symphony for the Metaverse gathers artists, musicians, art collectives, and architects into the mythopoeic realm of Mozilla Hubs. The pavilion officially opens November 18, 2021, and will include scheduled events and performances, workshops, and talks
throughout the duration of The Wrong Biennale. Blurring the boundaries between architecture, spatial sound compositions, and experimental media installations, Symphony for the Metaverse links a series of
virtual 3D architectural environments via the platform of Mozilla Hubs. Like a vast spatial montage composed of modulated fragments, sound and sculptural works lay the groundwork for a utopian structure that eschews any pretense to compartmentalized separation. Architecturally, this horizontal pavilion is a rondure of termless play, where bodies have a cartoon-like buoyancy and where sounds physicalize into threedimensional space. Functioning as both an archive and a series of stadiums or listening booths, Symphony for the Metaverse reverses the trend of corporate interconnectedness. Rather than upload consciousness into the virtual, Symphony for the Metaverse humanizes virtuality. The viewer becomes a listener, who then negotiates her own relationship to space through sound.
