Symbiotic Response

Audio-Visual Performance for Human and Machine

WONWOORI presents Symbiotic Response at Elektra Montréal, exploring the sensory relationship between human and computer. Building on his research into the mechanical hearing of cochlear implant users, the performance investigates the process of Symbiotic Listening. It examines three fundamental questions: how computers perceive human sound, how humans hear machine-generated audio, and the potential for shared musical enjoyment. Using corpus-based analysis and machine learning, the work fosters a dialogue of mutual listening, seeking a space where humans and AI coexist through sound.
