Zero = 0dB is a work about visualizing and understanding the non-audible and non-visual acoustic properties of a space. Every space has a certain acoustic reverberation, a property that can't be heard or seen on its own. With this project I aim to visualize that property through data visualization. Unseen, Unheard contains studies and examples of this process where the data has been mapped and visualized in a new form and material. The sculptures that result from this process are presented in a way that invites the viewer to re-contextualize the material.
