Sensing Signals is an artistic research project by Klankvorm focusing on experiencing the invisible world of signals that surround us. In and around the monumental Art Deco Radio Kootwijk building, designed by architect Julius Luthmann, artists are invited to create multisensory artworks inspired by the former radio telegraphic transmission station.

Matteo Marangoni and Dieter Vandoren will present their project Komorebi. Komorebi is a swarm of artificial creatures that make music in response to the sun, the clouds and the shadows of trees moving in the wind. Komorebi is a Japanese word meaning “sunlight shining through trees”. We are invited to experience the shadow play produced by the tree canopy on the forest floor as music. The work suggests that “life” is not an exceptional property of organic life forms, but also a property of complex systems reaching beyond biological life as we understand it.
