With Worlds / Graz, Sounding Future is presenting walkable sound installations in the courtyard of the Folk Life Museum at the Paulustor. Visitors are provided with headphones and a tracking module. With these, they move through interactive soundscapes created by three internationally renowned 3D audio composers.

In The Missing Dark Matter, Natasha Barrett translates an astrophysical puzzle into sound: In 2018, galaxies were discovered in which dark matter—the invisible substance that holds galaxies together—is simply missing.

In Block Universe, Otto Iivari draws on the physical idea that time is not a flux but a dimension. Iivari creates a space in which the past, present, and future become tangible as simultaneously existing layers of sound that one can traverse while walking through them.

With Limenfeld, Gerriet Krishna Sharma realizes an idea that Edgard Varèse formulated in 1936 but was unable to implement: sound not as a timeline but as a spatial mass with zones of intensity through which one moves.
