Zuse-Computer-Museum Hoyerswerda is dedicated to the development of information technology in the 20th century, especially to the father of modern computing Konrad Zuse. In addition to other interactive media installations in the permanent exhibition, we develop and designed the sound for a projection mapping onto one of Zuse's brain childs, the Z22R. The project asked for an accurate reproduction of the Z22R's original sound as well as for a contemporary audio aesthetic that evokes the period soundscape of the 1960s.
