Abstract:

  • The paper discusses the authors’ robotic artwork SONŌ (2019-), its artistic motivations, the artistic research practice underlying its development, and its technical realization. SONŌ is a soft robotic installation that interrogates the interconnections of soft materiality, sound, and subjectivity. It features a sessile soft artificial entity only capable of expansive movement, which is ceaselessly sounding itself and various environments using real-time generated audio.
