Sound Design and Composition:

The set-up consists of 120 mobile phones, which are networked via a server. From a compositional perspective, this network is forming a surround system with 120 discrete channels. This sound set-up is complemented by a quadrophony and by several speakers on the ceiling. During the play, spectators are asked to inquire about the phone's screen. The answers are selected via the touch screen and collected and analyzed by the artificial intelligence IRIS. Each of the answers is associated with a color and a sound. The statistical distribution becomes audible as sound transmitted by the loudspeaker of the phones. In addition, the corresponding colors are projected as a statistical distribution.
