ROUNDWARE: ROCKLAND
ABOUT
Roundware: Rockland is a location-based “audio augmented reality” installation that invites you to experience downtown Rockland by listening to the voices of those who have come before you -- and contributing your own experiences to the ever-evolving soundscape of music and voices.
Halsey Burgund is a sound artist and technologist whose work focuses on the combination of modern technologies - from mobile phones to artificial intelligence - with fundamentally human “technologies”, primarily language, music and the spoken voice. In many ways, Halsey's work is a combination of socio-anthropological 'research', musical documentary and contributory experience. He is the creator of Roundware, the open source contributory audio AR platform, which has been used to create art and educational installations for cultural organizations internationally. Halsey is currently a fellow in the MIT Open Documentary Lab and has held artist research positions in the MIT Media Lab and the Smithsonian Institution. His work has been exhibited internationally at museums and festivals including the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (USA), the Tyne & Wear Archive and Museums (UK), the Museum of Science, Boston (USA), the California Academy of Sciences (USA), IDFA, Tribeca, and Cannes XR.
