“Ambient Spaces” was is an audio visual website documenting the spaces people hold sentimental value to, and is used to re-immerse oneself in a nostalgic moment, or commemorate the present.
Visitors can click on the world map to explore the memories submitted by users which reveals itself as an audio visual experience. Visitors can simply explore, or add their own sound file using the create button.
This project was created for my senior capstone, in the midst of COVID-19. At the time, I realized that the ambient sound created by my friends, road, birds was a unique product of that time period, and recording that noise would allow me to re-immerse myself in the moment. I created this website so that others could share life their special life experiences through ambience, and therefore be more connected during “these troubling times”.
