Kinetic and Sound Interactive Installation

July 2017 – April 2019

For the first Zurich Design Biennale I worked with the Interaction Design R&D team at ZHdK on an installation about artificial and non-human sentience. The piece notices a person in the room and asks them to move around it.

I co-conceived the work and built the spatial interactive sound system, the generative sound, and the computer-vision response. It was also shown at Toni Areal and at the Tempe Center for the Arts, and it sits in a publication that received an honorable mention at CHI 2019.
