Series 2011 - 2015

Sound captured by a variable number of microphones scattered in space is injected into a dynamical system consisting of interconnected moving elements. The movements of these objects are audified and projected back into the venue by loudspeakers, and again recaptured by the microphone array. The system is tightly connected to the environment, it reacts to every small acoustic variation recomposing it in space and time and it interacts with itself, exposing its internal behaviour.

The performance consists of an exploration of the space spanned by different behaviour qualities emerging by slight changes of the rules governing the dynamical system.
