'Nausea Transformer' is a kinetic evolutionary physical skin where the main aim is to turn sound into a tangible visual spatial experience. The purpose is to bring people's awareness of environmental noise and sound levels: human and environmental sources. 'Nausea Transformer' aims to be a 'sound reprocessed machine' that can unexpectedly create and react with 'pleasant' or 'annoying' sounds and with a physical manifestation on its membrane according to the sound conditions of the environment.

The dynamics of the system are composed by a micro-processor, speakers, robotic levers activated by smart memory alloys and a foam membrane. The system creates an evolutionary set of rules of what it considers a ' perfect sound environment' and reacts accordingly with reprocessed sounds from the environnemt and with a physical manifestations on the membrane giving a visible dimension to sound - a normally invisible element in space.
