Format 3 is an ongoing work by the Danish artists Louise Foo and Martha Skou (FOO/SKOU) that explores how sound can be experienced through visual, physical, and virtual media.

At the heart of the work is a graphic score composed of eighty-one symbols forming a musical alphabet. Using a custom app and spatial interfaces, visitors can activate the shapes to trigger sounds, samples, and synthesis, transforming visual notation into an interactive sound environment. The work draws on traditions of experimental music and graphic notation while extending them into spatial, tactile, and contemporary forms.

In the version for état bruit at Konschthal, an interactive magnetic wall functions as a collective visual score. Visitors can rearrange the symbols, allowing the composition to evolve continuously through audience participation, transforming the space into a dynamic site of shared listening and exploration. The visual score can also be transformed into a collage, giving everyone the opportunity to take home their creation.

Mediators: FOO/SKOU (Louise Foo and Martha Skou)
