Hypercartogram is a sound installation with 3D projected video. It is a multichannel, interactive audio map of several cities, punctuated by live action and animated video projected onto a sculptural collage of urban spaces. Based on field recordings of streets in New York City and Karachi, Pakistan, the installation explores the potential for sound as an embodied map of urban space.
