Lsystem#3
(on the occasion of the 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture, Shenzhen)
21-12-2019 / 08-03-2020


Lsystem3 is a generative sound composition installed at MOCAUP for the 2019 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture (Shenzhen). Inspired by algorithms called L-systems, which appear in nature, the composition metaphorizes Shenzhen's anomalous growth.

The sounds used to activate the generative algorithms are samples of traditional Chinese musical instruments that slowly grow on themselves as they develop according to an L-system. The sound interacts with Loris Cecchini’s Waterbones installation within a black cube.

Curated by Manuela Lietti.
