ROBODYNAMISCHE DIFFUSION

RDD, State & Nature, Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden 2021

Robodynamic Diffusion (RDD) explores the impact of dynamic sound sources in space. The ability to alter the position and direction of a sound source allows listeners to experience how the surrounding space influences sound and our perception of it, expanding the dimensions available for sound composition. For this project, two MIDI-controllable loudspeaker systems were developed. Each system features a directional speaker mounted on a tiltable mechanism and is based on a freely movable and rotatable robotic platform.

RDD is a project by Michael Akstaller, Nele Jäger, and Jan St. Werner. It originated from a collaboration with Evocortex GmbH and Prof. Stefan May from the Laboratory for Mobile Robotics at the University of Applied Sciences Nuremberg. The project is supported by Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden and LEONARDO – Center for Creativity and Innovation in Nuremberg.
