Air's "Pocket Symphony" Listening Space

Essentially, my project attempts to look at how cultural artifacts are exchanged in virtual worlds
- to make this task more manageable, I chose to focus solely on music. In terms of looking for inspiration in spacial creation, I was told to look for Air's Pocket Symphony Listening Station.


I think firstly, that this space is really quite beautiful. A great use of making a more abstract space in 2L, not to mention that the imagery and color choice is very clear and clean. On a functional level, I find it very enjoyable to interact with. Walking around in an open space which focuses on music-listening made so many things obvious to me that should have been before - a destination 'read-me', music changing depending where you are in the room, and the ability to walk around from place to place fluidly in particular.

A good beginning in terms of spacial brainstorming.
