Bad Ground is an interactive audio-visual installation that both visualizes and sonifies the explosive growth of open-source education in creative practices. Virtual resources including, but not limited to, YouTube, Patreon and community forums continuously expand access to free educational content across countless skills and programs, this installation translates these digital currents into sensory experience. Through dynamic sonification and visualization techniques, visitors not only witness these growing educational ecosystems through sight and sound but can actively influence the installation through their physical presence—creating a responsive environment where participants observe both the broader trends of collective learning and their own impact within this digital confluence.
