Inspired by ancient Greek astronomy and the theory of the harmony of the spheres, this work combines mechanical and algorithmic gears, using the Milky Way as a musical score. The device takes the form of a celestial barrel organ, offering a unique and immersive journey into the heart of the universe, where the movements of the stars are translated into a captivating auditory experience that bridges the gap between science and art.
An artist who humorously examines our hypermodern times, Filipe Vilas-Boas develops a satirical critique of the notion of technological progress while cultivating his own analog and digital poetry. His installations, videos, and performances blend AI and DIY, robotics and philosophy, sociology and literature, astronomy and music.
