lsystem3 — Alessio de Girolamo

Lsystem#3
(on the occasion of 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). The composition, inspired by algorithms called L-systems which are observed in nature, is a metaphor for the anomalous growth of Shenzhen.

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.
