Hey everyone!
We would like to invite you to our open-studio in Zagreb at the Academy of Fine Arts at Ilica 85.
Starting from 6 pm we invite you to check out our nice studio that we spent our EMARE residency with KONTEJNER at.
Electronics, etching, 3D-printing, camera tracking, emotion recognition — of course a lot of ROBOTS and FUN 🙂

The past weekend we spent with a group of students and their professors Ines Krasić, Mirjana Vodopija and Iva Ćurić from the Academy of Fine Arts Zagreb in the idyllic village of Plemenitaš where they have one week of lectures and workshops on the topic of SOUND from different experts ranging from mathematicians and physicists to composers, musicians and artists. We are situated in the middle of this field of experts and presented our work and Empathy Swarm in the relaxed atmosphere of an outdoor evening lecture and a workshop “Machines in the Landscape of Plemenitaš” with one of our Psychophysics Machines: Megatautophone.
In a first step we sent the students out to record the sounds that express how they experience Plemenitaš, capturing the sounds of the scenery, ranging from cicadas, birds, bells of sheep to the rustling leaves in the wind. Then they could listen to their recordings through the directional speaker and learn how to modify the sound to improve it for the special nature of the directional speaker, applying high-pass and low-pass filters to get into the correct frequency range. To capture the results of the workshop and as a prototype for a series of “Machines in the Landscape”, we put the Megatautophone into the landscape, giving it the transformed sounds of the landscape as a language to communicate with its surroundings. We shot videos from different positions and used Zoom X/Y microphones next to the cameras to record this ‘dialog’ of the machine with the landscape. The videos and sounds need still to be combined and cut. We will present it soon!
You can get an impression of the overall Plemenitaš workshops in the article ” “Zvučni radovi” proizašli iz matematike i fizike” by Marinko Krmpotić.
We had a great time in Plemenitaš! Thanks to all organizers and our host Vesna Osojnički!

Those first weeks of the residency with Kontejner have been very busy: meeting experts and new friends,
setting up our lab that we took with us from home to get the tool chain up and running again for the next generation of prototypes,
while prototype Kryten is the guinea pig for finalizing the PCB design and programming steering behaviors.

We are back in Zagreb and continue to work on Empathy Swarm in our studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in the middle of the city center and with a nice green park to have a break from time to time.
Thanks KONTEJNER for all the preparation and fantastic hosting! Looking forward to having our newest prototype Kryten rolling around and soon some more swarm friends for him.

We started the second day of the festival giving a familiar talk about our work, the last night’s Saturn3 performance and presented the Mega Tautophone that we built during the 2 week residency.

As kick-off of our EMAP/EMARE Residency in Croatia this summer, we spent 3 weeks working on Emotion Recognition, Psychophysics Machines and Sound Generation.
This first stage will focus on the Emotion Recognition Software which we will use for Empathy Swarm during our main residency in June and July at KONTEJNER, Zagreb and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka.
We take the festival IZLOG SUVRE MENOG ZVUKA – Showroom of Contemporary Sound as a chance for testing the Emotion Recognition and Sound generation in the format of our Saturn3 performance together with Łukasz Szałankiewicz aka Zenial.
