This participatory concert, performed by the ensemble ]h[iatus, invites the audience to actively shape the music as it unfolds. Audience responses influence the sound production in real-time. Rather than a vote based on majority taste, this event is about composing attention itself. The performance merges technology, cognitive science, collective decision-making, and compositional play.
