The interactive sound installation YYZ consists of a symmetric room
where six loud
speakers are fixed on the crossing points
of the axes x, y and z. Each pair of loud speakers of one axis emits
white noise. However, one of them emits the white noise modulated by an
extremely low frequency. The combination of the two loud speakers gives
the impression that the sound is continuously changing its source,
which seems to be moving in a circular manner along the plane formed by
two axes. At the
room center, the system origin, is a
potentiometer that allows the spectator to change the spinning
frequency. The loud speakers are connected to each other by transparent
insulation wire; Thus, drawing on the walls the orthogonal planes. The
letters X, Y and Z denote the axes.

The sound excursion throughout the space,
brought by a special device built for this installation, allows the
spectator to look over the spectrum searching for his/her own spatial
frequency. The sound becomes an approaching way to recognize the space.
The
search for space-frequency tuning is executed in real
time by the spectator action on the universal background noise. The
interference inside the "black box" (it can be inferred because all
circuits were designed for this installation) allows the installation
to tune in with the space-spectator without prior conceived relations.
Therefore, the searching for space-frequency-spectator tuning is
unbarren.
