What it is

An audiovisual experience where sound becomes something you can feel.

Created by international artists specifically for low frequencies, these compositions travel through subwoofers as vibrations and air pressure modulation. Rather than traditional concert listening, visitors are invited to experience music through their bodies and explore how sound interacts with space.

Designed for Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing audiences alike, SUBWORKS offers an unusual encounter with contemporary art, music and technology, and a fresh perspective on what it means to listen and feel together.
