Aresta. 2018
Sound/Light Installation/Performance
7m x 4,5m x 3m. 12 channel sound, saxophones, steel, wood, speaker cones, LEDs, dmx controllers, custom software, custom electronics, dimmers
Aresta is a sculptural sound installation, turning an ensemble of saxophones into autonomous entities. The music is generated by a computer using AI, played through the instruments and synchronized with LEDs placed inside their bodies. The performer interacts with the installation, questioning the need for a human body on stage and the potential obsolescence of its role.
Aresta can be experienced both as an installation and a performance.
