The Audio Experience is an immersive 360 degree listening experience that puts listeners at the very center of Anderson’s story,overhearing imagined conversations, listening to clips from almost a dozen interviews with those who knew him best, and bringing the sounds of the natural world into the museum with high tech mastery.

 

"WAMA is pleased to present this one-of-a-kind audio experience to their visitors. This project is the culmination of a five year collaboration with Goat in the Road Productions who have brought their artistic perspective and intuitive communication style to this project,” said Deputy Director & Chief Curator Mattie Codling. “We are thrilled to present the story of Walter Anderson in such a visceral and compelling manner. This audio experience is not just a guide, it is an immersive experience!"

 

Created by New Orleans-based theatre company Goat in the Road Productions in collaboration with WAMA, the Guide is an audio tour/ listening experience that will be open to all visitors. The Guide includes interviews with family members and experts, real and imagined conversations involving Anderson and those closest to him, and detailed descriptions of artwork in the collection. It will give Museum visitors an insight into the personal and professional life of Anderson, and the entangling of these lives.
