The Collapse of a Microcosm is an installation featuring 90 artificial memory modules that sense and react to their environment, creating an evolving dialogue between light and sound. Each module incorporates RGB LEDs and photosensors to capture both visible and invisible light, translating these stimuli into audio-visual experiences. As visitors engage with the installation, their presence alters the system, embedding their movements into its memory loops. The result is an immersive environment that captures a fragile, nonlinear memory, merging human activity with technological cognition in a layered soundscape.
The installation, created by Ralf Baecker, consists of 90 artificial memory modules that communicate through light and sound, creating a living memory of the environment.
As visitors interact with the installation, their movements and shadows are integrated into the memory loops, transforming presence into data that resonates within the space.
Each module is designed to sense ambient light and human movement, propagating this sensory data through a recursive chain that generates a dynamic, evolving soundscape.
The Collapse of a Microcosm illustrates the intersection of technology and nature, offering an experiential representation of how memories are formed through both artificial and natural rhythms.
