Amotion

Installation
4-15 November – 11h00 – 18h00
CREA

Installation by Silvia Rosani, who will be present and will introduce her work: Amotion (2023) presents itself as a group of metallic objects and a large tambourine. The objects are wired to create audio feedback loops, making them resonate, and these are controlled by a patch in Pure Data. This set of connections turns the objects into hybrid electro-acoustic instruments. An app created with Python allows audience members and musicians to use either their voices or their instruments to interact with the installation while being in the exhibition space or remotely. The app records and analyzes these sounds and makes decisions on how the hybrid electro-acoustic instruments will react to the surrounding stimuli. The dialogue between the agents involved is based on emotion detection, carried out live by a neural network model embedded in the app, which then sends information to Pure Data for sound synthesis. The version of Amotion presented at the Werkleitz Festival is a work in progress, while the project will be fully implemented at RIXC in September.
