For the soundscape I used a modified recording from Earthtunes. The audio is made from actual seismic data, recorded in Grindavik last year on the 10th of November (when the town was evacuated). Here's a video so you can hear and see the installation in action:

One day I'll write a long blog post about the process of making it all happen. For now, I'll just say that this installation wouldn't have happened without the phenomenal @rysiek who wrote the software for it and built the table.
Huge thanks to @tomasino and @esi as well for their help. Those guys rock!
