Designed for avant garde British electronic music artist Actress, Livef0rms is an installation by day, and a backdrop for a live performance by night. Constantly being assembled and disassembled by industrial robots based on an algorithm that translates music into crystalline form, Livef0rms is concerned with form (sonic or spatial) as a dynamic design process for its ability to (self-) generate as infinitesimal outputs. By employing tools such as computation, sampling, digital composition and robotics, it creates multi-disciplinary crossings between the physical and the sensational. The objective is to create a space that is a physical manifestation of the interaction and real time collaboration between the artists, revealing the invisible; translating music into a naturally evolving architecture that makes speculative links between sound, materiality, sensation and human emotion. Thus, it explores what it is to exist in a post-human age, acknowledging processes that are born from and yet simultaneously indifferent to human agency.
