For one night, artist-built sound robots and electromechanical instruments become an orchestra with no stable boundary between performer, machine and sculpture. The collective performance treats control as a negotiation: mechanical unpredictability is not an error to correct, but the very material of listening. Made at HfG Karlsruhe in 2024 by Ida Bloomdahl, Éva Csonka, Jihye Gebhart, Hanjoo Lee, Ziyang Ma, Jason Mendiola, Eunseong Park, Lorenz Schwarz, Seiji Shimabukuro, Yifan Su, Lihan Wang and Yunfei Zhang; documentation published in 2026.
