The development of controllers in interactive electroacoustic music reflects a broader shift in how composers understand the relationship between gesture, instrument, and sound production. Unlike traditional acoustic instruments, whose physical interfaces evolved gradually over centuries, controllers for electronic and computer-based music emerged through rapid technological transitions during the twentieth century. Each stage in this evolution reshaped how performers interac

One of the central challenges in interactive electroacoustic music concerns the role of gesture in performance. In acoustic instrumental practice, gesture is inseparable from sound production: the physical actions required to generate sound are visible, legible, and structurally meaningful. In contrast, computer-based music performance often obscures the relationship between movement and sonic outcome. This raises an important question: How can gesture remain musically meanin

It’s More Fun To Sink Them  (2026) is an interactive media installation that establishes a real-time audiovisual relationship between spectators and archival speech footage of Donald Trump through webcam-based facial tracking. The work explores how authority operates through mediated speech and instruction by transforming political rhetoric into responsive audiovisual material shaped directly by the viewer’s bodily presence. Rather than treating speech as a stable carrier of

The installation Knowless: Dreamlike Dream explores this experience of living within change. Inspired by the philosophy of Zhuangzi , the installation invites visitors to wander between dream and waking, between certainty and uncertainty, through a sequence of spatial environments. Rather than presenting philosophy as text, the ideas unfold through light, mirrors, sound, and movement , allowing visitors to experience the concepts physically and emotionally. Life often feels

When most people hear the word philosophy , they picture something distant, abstract—maybe even intimidating. It feels like something only academics talk about, with big ideas about existence, morality, or the universe. But philosophy doesn’t have to live in a textbook. At its heart, it’s a way of thinking. It’s a mental practice—a method for making sense of life. It helps you ask better questions, break out of rigid thought patterns, and look at the world with fresh eyes. In

This article documents the technological design and implementation of Music for 9, a media installation presented as part of The Missing Link project. The work fragments a percussion performance into distributed visual and sonic components across multiple synchronised displays. Close-up images of the performer’s body are distributed across screens, each paired with an individual speaker that emits processed and partially dislocated sound. Through this spatial arrangement, the

Mozart: Das Veilchen          “Ein Veilchen auf der Wiese Stand” is one of the Goethe’s early poems in his first Singspiel, Erwin und Elmire. The poem is about the need of human comfort of beloved, and the dichotomous of love. The pain of love was then released by the peaceful death of the violet. The violet is unpretentious, unknown and lovely, but it cannot be noticed because of its featureless outlook. It first experienced the joy of the yearning
