In Rebecca Adorno’s Instrument for Unsent Letters, letters from strangers are collected through a blog where people write entries dedicated to someone in an anonymous way. They are then published in the form of audio clips as part of the installation. The random-automatized plucking of custom-made string instruments, by servomotors, controls the play back of the narrations.

Anis Haron will present Audio palimpsest, an interactive sound-based installation that explores applications of indeterminacy and randomness in an interactive platform. Based on a reconfigured cassette recorder, the installation allows multi point interaction by synthesizing data inputs collectively.
