In a world that often feels rushed and detached, where global challenges demand our focus, Earwitness invites players to slow down and attune themselves to the unnoticed around them. Whether it’s the whisper of wind, the distant murmur of life, or the pulse of a city, it offers a moment to pause, listen, and reflect on our place in the world.

Guided by evocative prompts like “a sound that feels like a secret” or “something that seems to be sending a message,” players discover hidden rhythms, textures, and silences, reshaping their relationship with the environment. Through a web app, players record and transform these sounds into unique clouds of sound particles — fleeting moments made visible. As these sounds take form as abstract shapes, Earwitness invites players to project their own interpretations, creating a deeply personal and captivating visual experience in real time.






Like the observer effect in physics, Earwitness reveals how active listening shapes what is heard. With every captured sound, the environment responds, transformed by the presence of those who truly hear it.

Earwitness may become a playful ritual during a daily commute or an experience shared in quiet curiosity with a partner. A sound that feels like it’s holding its breath, a rhythm that disrupts the usual flow — whether alone or together, each sound beckons us to pay closer attention. How might the world change if we truly start to listen?
