Empathy Swarm V4, our evolving sound version of the swarm has been part of WIP Festival 2024 “DE CLOUD” in autumn 2024 as part of the curatorial theme “Simulation __________ Reality”.

We enjoyed our time in Cyprus and to work with the WIP team. We especially appreciated all the keepers of the swarm who developed a quite personal and caring relationship to our Empathy swarm robots. It was a great exchange and community experience with the other artists, the WIP team and the audience. Thanks for a great festival!
