AUDIOVISUAL ENVIRONMENTS, SOUND-BASED WORKS, CONCERTS
Sound has formed an integral part of LAb[au]'s practice since its inception. Initially developed through audiovisual performances and collaborative concert formats, these investigations progressively evolved into autonomous installations and permanent public artworks in which sound became an architectural and spatial medium.
