Soundwall: a framed canvas that gives off sound
02 Mar 2016
Art literally sings in a new kind of speaker: the Soundwall, a framed canvas that gives off sound.
Soundwall was invented in 2013 by two Boulder entrepreneurs, Sven Coppom and David Hose. Flat-panel technology enables the entire front surface of the canvas to vibrate, creating sound. You can choose a painting or photograph from Soundwall’s online gallery, upload an image of your choice when you order, or (on request) get a blank one to paint yourself or use like a chalkboard. Once it arrives, you just hang it on the wall and connect to wifi, and the music starts. When you’re in the room with it, it’s hard to tell where the sound is coming from.
