In this interview, Andrey Shibanov and Khristina Ots from SPLACES.STUDIO talk about the creative and technical processes behind the interactive sculpture "Megalith", which transforms a stone into an immersive, responsive soundscape.
SPLACES.STUDIO brings together artists, engineers, and scientists to collaborate on projects that combine light, sound, and natural elements, aiming to create sustainable, nature-inspired solutions. With a focus on innovation and environmental responsibility, their interdisciplinary approach leads to artworks that challenge traditional boundaries and encourage viewers to rethink their relationship with the natural world.
Megalith invites participants to engage with a large stone through tactile interaction, using a network of sensors and neural networks that trigger sounds recorded in a forest. The sculpture blurs the line between the organic and the technological, evoking a deeper connection to nature by allowing viewers to "hear" the stone's environment.
