This work is part of an inquiry into the relationship between architectonic space and sound conveyed by mathematical laws. Numerous speakers of various dimensions and power capacity are suspended in the exhibition space by braided steel cables anchored to the walls. The speakers are connected to a multichannel audio reproduction system through which is transmitted a composition consisting of synthetic sounds and sound samples. These are elaborated with software that the artist constructed ad hoc and which make use of data related to the architectural measurements of the room hosting the work, to the acoustic resonance present in the room itself, and to the length of the steel cables to which the speakers are fixed. In this way there is created a multisensory environment in which there exists a great coherence between the visual aspects and

those of sound.
