2016's Miami Beach Art Basel will take place from December 1st until the 4th. In order to immerse attendees in the rich creative worlds of art and sound alike, this year's event will feature a heavy involvement with Sennheiser, an incredibly innovative audio specialist.
To explore the connection between the visual and audio, the Miami Beach Art Basel will feature unique works from Nik Nowak and Neil Case. For one of these installations, "a mobile 4000-watt subwoofer sound system sculpture" will be featured -- which will blend the worlds of art and sound into one as the impressive sculpture will shake with the music emitted from it. As Nik Nowak explains, "Sound is a catalyst for social and societal processes -- and technology plays a vital part in this. The collaboration with Sennheiser is the result of a mutual interest in this relationship."
