RotoR – a kinetic installation inspired by the movement of stars and planets. RotoR invites participants to immerse themselves in the cosmic order through motion and sound, offering a sense of control over both the system and the compositions being created. As planets roll along designated orbits, sounds are set in motion—resembling signals from outer space: radio noise, wave vibrations, mysterious impulses. The installation encourages reflection on the harmonies emitted by celestial bodies within their cosmic order, as well as on the limits of human perception, which compel us to constantly interpret these signals.
