A-x-Myxomycetes
2024 | ESC Medien Kunst Labor |
Graz, ATA-x-Myxomycetes is a research project exploring collaboration with non-humans whose intelligence remains largely undiscovered. The project centers around myxomycetes, organisms that possess their own individuality and influence how electrical currents flow through their mediations. Acting as conductors of signal flow, these organisms control resistance, shaping the soundscape produced by the sculpture.
Myxomycetes have something that humans might describe as memory. They remember past interactions and use this knowledge to inform their future decisions. However, the exact nature of their thought processes remains a mystery to us.Category

The computer measures spaces, cuts, isolates, and distorts sounds, creating a deterministic composition in real time. The music fills the space, and the space fills the music.
The sound material is an impulse, which is spatially recorded and forms both the score and the sound material through repeated resampling. The result is a sound space that plays the concert hall.
A cello intervenes with phrases, enriching the sound space until it is overridden by it, and the computer sounds become a static musical space.
For Space01 at the Kunsthaus Graz, a special Ambisonics version for the IKOsaeder loudspeakers was composed.

Solar Manifestation
2023 | Elektro Haus | Club Hybrid | Graz, AT
This sound installation, drawing on hardware from the
Klangnetze project, hilghlights solar energy themes. An
autonomous speaker, powered by a solar panel, that
activates upon receiving sufficient sunlight. This setup
manifests solar energy as a sound representation,
reacting generatively to environmental sounds and
synthesized speech, deliberately avoiding any
association with specific individuals to emphasize the
sun's egoless nature. The installation personifies the
sun to blur the lines between individual human egos
and the universal continuum of energy. By showcasing
the sun as the primary life-giving force on Earth and
underscoring its role in shaping our planet and solar
system, the piece fosters a sense of unity with the
natural world. It invites viewers to perceive themselves
as part of a vast, interconnected system, driven by the
sun’s energy.
