generative audio installation 2022
in collaboration with Fabian Lanzmaier

An autonomous system is initiated by means of electromechanical, analogue and digital sound generators positioned in a space. The installation is designed as an independent network organism. Connections of electronic circuits and digital sound processors are treated as entities to create semi-natural, squeaking, stuttering, throbbing and singing organisms. A kind of half-animal. The electronic machine as a mimesis of an organic world, where the voice and the language process are generated through different models of feedback networks.
By working with real-time audio systems and feedback, its resistance and autonomy reflects an open generative state that does not follow a fixed sequence. Therefore the installation finds itself in different auditory stages, where it follows the idea of the machine as a natural, unpredictable entity outside a preconfigured and determined process. A continuous ecosystem started and left to its own. Examining sound as a processual medium, pursuing the question of sound as an independent presence in space.
