"We open a collective happening between us and autonomous agents, to explore embodiment and communication through call & response, reflecting the subtle intelligence of swarm movements."
Sounds created through the ritual of practising a core shamanic journey, were captured through the activation of the audience's mobile devices through an online network. Upon travelling to the url: ‘find-call’, Spirit Casual open access to each device’s speaker and microphone, moderated through a central hub of devices: a loose form of tech-mandala.
Audience members with a device receive a visual form of a particular spirit animal, which has been chosen prior, through chance and shamanic journey. The attributes of the animal in relation swarm and flock behaviour dictate a coded rule-set on how each device is triggered into response to the audio stimuli; The Call; made by the drum, flute and voice.
The intention of The Call is focused on using intention, action and breath to explore manifestation of spirit through an internet connection interwoven through a collective and hive mind.
The sound generated from the devices is: The Response.
