About this Event
invites you into a speculative listening room, an evening at the intersection of sound, visual art, and collective making. Designed in response to the , hosted at the .
Rather than playing music in the background, The Ryze creates a soundscape that operates as an interpretive mechanism, shaping the room's atmosphere, pacing, and attention. Throughout the experience, we guide participants through the concept of collective memory — how cross-modal perception, sensation, and shared experience can be held, shaped, and made tangible.
Within this environment, participants are invited into a hands-on design workshop, working with provided materials to build a collective vessel in response to the music and its emotional resonance. The workshop unfolds in dialogue with the sound — each informing the other as the evening takes shape. The process is as much the outcome as the object itself — an exercise in relational design, shared intuition, and building together.
All levels of listeners are welcome!
