hyd~ translates the circulation of water into a choreographed sculpture of sound and motion.

An industrial robotic arm, commonly employed in medical and laboratory automation, guides a parametric loudspeaker that projects self recorded soundscapes of the river Rhine captured with a hydrophone, a microphone used for recording underwater environments. Covered by a black shimmering textile, the focused beam of sound and the articulated gestures of the arm form a field in which direction, reflection and movement intertwine.

​

By transposing a tool of precision and control into an environment of fluid uncertainty, hyd~ explores the shifting boundary between care and extraction, measurement and flow. The work evokes the image of a fountain as both technological construct and vanishing resource, turning the prospect of future scarcity into an acoustic and spatial experience.

lotka volterra translates the algorithmic model of coexistence into a choreography of vibration and sound.

Inspired by the ecological equations that describe the fluctuating relationship between two species, the work unfolds as a kinetic sound sculpture driven by vibration motors. Their alternating intensities generate shifting rhythms that mirror the oscillations of predator and prey, growth and decline, equilibrium and collapse.

The behaviour and interdependence of this two species algorithm can be modulated in real time through a touch screen interface. This control surface extends the mathematical model into an embodied act of interaction, where ecological feedback becomes a tactile experience.

​

By transforming an abstract model of ecology into a physical and audible system, lotka volterra makes interdependence tangible. The work reflects on the fragility of biodiversity and the feedback loops that shape living systems, turning mathematical relation into resonance and coexistence into vibration.
