Kinesis

Kinesis is a digital sonic environment that explores the relationship between sound, space, performers, and computation. A group of AI agents was trained using reinforcement learning to create generative spatial sound objects that react to human presence with their unpredictable behaviors. The result is an ever-changing digital audio-visual structure that transforms the space in an unrepeatable manner.

The listeners/performers become active by walking and positioning themselves among the objects, indirectly navigating the composition. The agents constantly react to the performers' actions, affecting sonic features such as frequency, pitch, duration, and amplitude. As the system interacts with the virtual plane of continuous differentiation of its components, every subjective experience becomes a part of the system through sense-making."
The project has been presented at the Athens Digital Art Festival(GR) in 2021 and Studio Loos(NL) in 2024.
