Venue: Oculus, B2, ArtScience Museum
This live performance by Vienna-based sound artist Robert Schwarz marks the launch of Stridulations, extending the sonic logic of the installation through a real-time activation of the Oculus. Conceived as an embodied listening experience, the performance unfolds across the architecture through layered sound and live spatialisation, inviting audiences to linger and listen within the space.
Drawing on Schwarz’s long-term research into insect communication, the performance treats stridulation as both method and metaphor: sound emerging through friction, repetition and collective synchrony. Field recordings, synthesis and live spatial control articulate shifting relationships between the individual and the swarm, the organic and the synthetic, and the programmed and the emergent.
