The work

Collective Resonator is an interactive sound installation that makes the invisible connections between people temporarily audible.

Visitors enter a shared space in which their movement contributes to an evolving soundscape. No single participant controls the composition: individual trajectories, proximity and changes of position accumulate and merge into a collective acoustic environment. What one person hears is therefore partly produced by the presence and movement of everyone else.

The installation treats a group not as a collection of isolated individuals but as a changing system of relations. Connections that usually remain unnoticed acquire sound, while every movement modifies the conditions experienced by others.

Collective Resonator turns co-presence into an instrument. The resulting composition exists only for as long as people continue to occupy, cross and reshape the shared space together.
