The Robophone Ensemble
A post-human choir,
An immersive and mobile space,
A 4-dimensional acoustic environment.
Shown at the 2024 Munich Biennale
What if a speaker had a body? Somewhere between a living animal and an architectural environment, the Robophone Ensemble seeks to bring together immaterial sound with figure and form, creating complex sensations for viewers, inviting them to be present and engaged with the space (and sound) around them.
