GORILLAS is a sound and light installation built from movable sound objects distributed throughout space. Visitors navigate the environment by approaching, muting, closing, and repositioning sonic elements within the space.

Our Role Own Artwork // PREMIERE Retune Festival Berlin // Year 2018

GORILLAS is an interactive sound and light installation that treats sound as a physical and spatial element within the room. The work creates an environment composed of distributed sound objects that visitors can navigate and alter through movement and interaction.

The installation allows the listening situation to remain mutable. Individual sounds can be approached, interrupted, muted, or repositioned, continuously reshaping the acoustic relationships inside the space. Through these actions, visitors assemble their own temporary spatial composition.

Light and sound operate together as environmental material. The installation focuses on proximity, orientation, and attention, using sound as an active component of the spatial structure rather than as a background layer.

The work premiered at the Retune Festival 2018 in Berlin, Germany. We developed the installation as an original artwork exploring interactive sound, spatial listening, and the physical behaviour of sound within an immersive environment.

PROJECT SCOPE
  • Role of Sound
    Sound functions as a spatial material that structures how the environment is perceived and explored.
  • Mode of Encounter
    Visitors move through the installation and actively alter their listening situation through physical interaction with sound objects.
  • Sound Logic
    The sonic environment continuously changes through repositioning, muting, and interruption of individual sound sources.
  • Source Material
    The work is based on distributed sound objects combined with light as part of a shared spatial environment.
  • Production Role
    Own artwork.
  • Sound System
    Multiple sound objects are distributed throughout the installation space.
  • Related Practices
    Spatial Audio
    Interactive Sound
    Immersive Sound
