The ISM Hexadome is a new format and at the same time a completely new tool. Nine performances and installations have been especially conceived for the project by international sound and visual artists. Within the ISM Hexadome, each work opens a door into a world crafted in sonic and visual detail, demonstrating the power of spatialisation for sound.

Developed by the Institute for Sound & Music in collaboration with Pfadfinderei and ZKM | Center for Art and Media, the ISM Hexadome is an immersive exhibition fusing art with technology, unlike any previous experience within a museum context. Throughout 2018–2019, the ISM Hexadome exhibition is scheduled to travel from Berlin to museums and festivals worldwide.
