Static Room is an abstract audiovisual composition of manipulated static that spatially surrounds the viewer both sonically and visually. The audio track was generated directly by the flickering, strobing image itself—the image and the sound having been created from the same signal, the same set of data. In the words of the artist himself, "Experiencing it is learning how to see with your ears wide open."
