Step into Freedom, a space where robotic arms play electric cello and guests remix the music. Audio-reactive visuals surround you as performer and audience become one in a living composition.
A space for reflection and inspiration where time slows down, an invitation to explore creative freedom through introspection. The interplay between the tangible and the virtual celebrates music, through the past, present and future. A space designed for immersive auditory and visual experience, Freedom blurs the boundaries between performer and audience. The room is enveloped in soft, atmospheric lighting, where the rhythmic pulse of sound fills the air.
Robotic arms, poised at the center, move with precision, their movements orchestrating the creation of a live, evolving melody. Four OP-1 synthesizers are strategically placed, allowing guests to remix and layer the sound, creating a symbiotic relationship between technology and human interaction. The screens pulse with audio-reactive visuals, amplifying the music’s organic flow. An evolving composition that emerges in real time as robotic arms play an electric cello. The sound is fluid, constantly shifting and adapting to the guests’ making the audience active participants in the creation of the work. The interplay of sound, motion, and visual stimuli fosters an environment where the boundaries between creator, instrument, and audience dissolve, offering a dynamic exploration of artistic freedom.
