This exhibition invites the audience into a field of pure acoustic resonance. Centered around the artwork Gamelatron ViaOro, the space is designed for reflection and deep listening. ViaOro is a monumental kinetic sculpture featuring 36 hand-tuned bronze and steel gongs and eight metal keys. Through a physical computing system, electromagnetic mallets strike the instruments with precision, transforming 10 freestanding sculptural “towers” and “racks” into a living, breathing mechanical orchestra. The result is a total immersion in sound—a sanctuary of vibration and stillness.

Kuffner’s Gamelatron sculptures have notably exhibited at the 56th Venice Biennale, the Smithsonian, and Hammer Museum, among many others.
