Audio Visual Artifacts is a Brooklyn studio that builds instruments for feeling music. Its first artifact, AVA, is a sixteen foot octagon sound bed for eight people: any song becomes full body vibration across five zones while generative light is drawn from the same signal. AVA runs as a public listening room at 29 Nassau Ave in Greenpoint, travels to festivals and events, and installs in hotels and homes.

Audio Visual Artifacts (AVA) is a Brooklyn studio that builds instruments for feeling music together. Its first artifact, also called AVA, is a sixteen foot octagon sound bed with thirty-three tactile transducers driven as five zones of the body, from 41 Hz at the feet to 880 Hz at the head. Guests choose the music; the room separates and time-aligns it so it travels through the body and around the circle, while a projected light field is generated from the same audio in real time by the studio's own open-source software, AVA OS and Easel. Sessions run 45 to 90 minutes for one to eight people at the studio's public room at 29 Nassau Ave, Greenpoint, on weekdays: wellness sessions by day, live sets and album nights after dark. AVA also travels to festivals, museums and brand events, and installs permanently in hotels, spas, clubs and private homes.

My experience with SoundTemple NYC blew me away. I never imagined that this calibre of immersive, exquisite full body sound experience was possible.Alain, guest
Because of all the vibrations in the room, it felt like I was connected to all the other people on the journey; I wasn't alone in my feelings. The vibrations almost felt like a hug.Margo, guest
It was like 40 therapy sessions in an hour.Mark, guest
