Autonomous beings, crafted from curved sheets of steel and equipped with AI, engage in dynamic, non-anthropocentric conversations and shape their soundscape through the intrinsic properties of their materials. Their \u2018voices\u2019 are produced by resonant vibrations within their hollow steel forms, which are activated by piezo elements and transducers. Much like human voices, which arise from internal vibrations, these entities generate unique frequencies that contribute to immersive soundscapes.<br>Each modular configuration generates specific spatial and sonic characteristics. Microphone-speaker feedback loops emphasise resonant areas and enable the entities to \u2018communicate\u2019 with their surroundings. AI dynamically modulates these patterns, thereby fostering emergent, non-linear communication. The soundscapes evolve fluidly, creating glitchy, fluid and undefined spaces for interaction that invite the audience to experience the dialogue as an interwoven, emergent phenomenon.<br>Inspired by Donna Haraway\u2019s concept of the Terrapolis \u2013 a polytemporal chimera of materials, languages and stories \u2013 the beings embody an ethos of interconnection. Their voices, shaped by internal movements and AI control, transcend traditional boundaries to promote speculative sustainability and coexistence. The audience is invited to explore post-human storytelling through soundscapes, thereby fostering collective understanding and shared exploration within shared spaces.<br>This project is a live performance in which AI and human composers collaborate through dynamic, non-anthropocentric dialogues, utilising resonant steel beings as interfaces for sound and interaction. These autonomous beings generate unique soundscapes by blending material vibrations with AI-controlled modulation, thereby offering a speculative exploration of collective creativity and post-human communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"blocksatz has-custom-css wp-custom-css-7063a60d wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-720x480.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_3987-Kopie-1200x800.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-416\" style=\"width:720px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-720x1080.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-1200x1800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG_4096korr3-scaled.jpeg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls src=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Resonantblech720.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">binaural audio recording (use headphones) of the concert in Valletta in 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/nicolajkirisits.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/binaural_malta_1.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2024 Festival Angewandte, Vienna (AT) 2026 Vanishing Acts, Valetta (MLT)&nbsp; together with Zeynep Aks\u00f6z, Alexander Urban, Lea Karnutschphotos: Kathrin Stumreich This project reinterprets dialogue from a posthuman perspective and explores interactions beyond anthropocentric paradigms.
