Image if a sound installation. Looks a lot like a Japanese Pagode.

gonS neriS is an installation that builds on the themes explored in Blues for N0 and Itzama, but takes them into a physical realm where human presence is at the forefront. The work features sound bars made of microtonally tuned SuperDuplex steel, activated by solenoids controlled by radar sensors. The installation is designed to respond to the proximity of a viewer: as someone approaches, the activity diminishes, and as they move away, the activity intensifies. This dynamic interaction creates a direct link between human presence and the machine’s response.

The installation serves as a commentary on artificial intelligence, emphasizing the necessity of human consciousness in our interactions with digital tools. While AI can simulate intelligence and generate responses, gonS neriS underscores the idea that it is the human presence that brings true meaning and depth to the experience. The work questions the role of AI in art and interaction, suggesting that without human input and awareness, the technological responses remain hollow and devoid of true significance.

By translating the abstract and digital explorations of previous works into a tangible, physical form, gonS neriS invites the audience to engage in a more visceral, embodied experience. The installation highlights the symbiotic relationship between human beings and machines, where the presence or absence of one can significantly alter the behavior of the other. This piece challenges the viewer to consider the importance of their own presence and consciousness in shaping the technological environments around them.

gonS neriS is not just an exploration of technology; it is an invitation to reflect on our role within the digital age, where our interactions with machines increasingly define the world we live in. Through this work, the installation encourages viewers to be more mindful of their own influence and presence, recognizing that it is ultimately the human element that breathes life and meaning into the mechanical and the digital.
