About this Event

Gamelatron Sonic Sanctuary: 1000 Ways to Sit

Thursdays: Somatic Practices & Embodiment

Doors open: 6pm

Practice: 6:30-8pm

Tea & Connection 8-8:30pm


In resonance with the Sonic Sanctuary of the Gamelatron, these Thursday evenings invite us to return to the body—a living constellation of sensation, rhythm, memory, and breath.

Through meditative stillness, somatic inquiry, nervous system attunement, and deep sonic immersion, we unravel unconscious holding patterns and reconnect with our essential aliveness and collective resonance. Each session offers a unique yet interconnected pathway into presence, weaving a shared tapestry of embodiment. Whether seated, still, moving, or simply listening—there are 1000 ways to sit.


Specialized Workshop: Inner Architecture by Michelle Nayeli

The body's structure is one and the same as the web of sensation, rhythm, and memory. This session awakens your bodymind's design as living anatomy in constant self-shaping, through playful yet diligent inquiry of the human body in motion. Inhabit your inner architecture as a source of freedom, deep adaptability, and embodied intelligence.

About Heron Arts, The Gamelatron Project, and 1000 Ways to Sit:

Heron Arts is pleased to present the fourth exhibition of a large scale immersive Gamelatron sonic kinetic sculpture installation by Aaron Taylor Kuffner. This exhibition follows the success of the Resonance in Light (2022, 2023, 2024) that featured a Gamelatron interacting with various light based sculptures curated by John Parts Taylor. This year we are excited to welcome “Gamelatron Sonic Sanctuary: 1000 Ways To Sit” produced by Kamau Zuberi Akabueze.


This exhibition utilizes Heron Arts as a community wellness space offering a public immersion into the layered experience of resonance through stillness, space, and sound. Viewers will be asked to remove their shoes, stow their phones and choose from a variety of unique seats.


At the core of this sanctuary is the musical automaton Gamelatron ViaOro which features 44 uniquely tuned gongs and metal phones, starting in the 30 hz range and spanning across 6 pitch registers on 10 free standing sculptures illuminated by an interactive light-based artwork by Adele Lin and Matt Pinner.


Kuffner intends this exhibition to seed the idea and explore the potential of a global network of sanctuaries anchored by large scale Gamelatron artworks.
