Polymerous is a soundscape commissioned for the Games Memories installation at Sydney Olympic Park. 14 customised audio poles distribute a multi-channel soundscape of slowly-changing, shimmering, metallic tones which slowly spreads throughout the forest of 480 poles.

Arriving at the domed multimedia pod, visitors are plunged into an active, movement-filled audio environment. Visceral and impressionistic, the soundscape is charged with the rise and fall of athletic action relating to the olympics moments featured on the circle of 12 plasma screens.



Project team: CDP Media, multimedia producers; Tony Caro, architect; Resonant Designs, system design and program
