Christopher Janney is a pioneer in the field of sound art, merging architecture, sound, light, and interactive technology. For 30 years, Janney has been blending music and light with the physical space in unexpected ways. His work invites the public to engage and connect. Janney's work turns spectators into participants. He transforms parking garages into music boxes, airport walkways into rainbow passages, public plazas into spaces for creative interaction, and dancers' heartbeats into their own musical accompaniment. Janney's innovative use of technology, sound, and architecture in his projects has won him numerous awards, including the Gyorgy Kepes prize from MIT, the Thomas Edison award from General Electric, and LDI's Sound Designer of the Year.
