Installation with terrarium, beetles, and speakers (2019)
ZoomBx: KtV Sessions Vol II. focuses on the experimental exploration for real-time-driven composition of public soundscapes. Sound events and movement patterns inside a terrarium are tracked, interpreted, and acoustically applied to a concrete fusion with the outer soundscape. The result is an automated soundscape composition between randomness and determinism, from which questions about the cultural significance of designed sounds and the originality of acoustic phenomena can be deduced.
