2024, Immersive Generative Audio Installation
 

hearmedreamyourworld is a sonic exploration of the sounding world through the perceptive faculties of an AI. It uses IRCAM's groundbreaking RAVE algorithm to resynthesize sound based on its internal properties as understood by the neural network.

​

The installation uses found sounds, field recordings and contemporary political speech as its raw materials to be reinvented. But, much like human perception, the AI can be biased to purposefully generate erroneous data, resulting in a glitched and faulty representation of the natural world.

Premiered at Next Level Festival Dortmund, 2024
