Robert Henke, will present « Fragile territories » in the Funkhaus Sound Chamber for the duration of the summit. In a few words « The shapes and auditive elements are created in real-time using statistic and stochastic algorithms, resulting in an infinite duration of the work; its state at any given moment being impossible to predict. ».
