This live performance by Vienna-based sound artist Robert Schwarz marks the launch of Stridulations, extending the sonic logic of the installation through a real-time activation of the Oculus. Conceived as an embodied listening experience, the performance unfolds across the architecture through layered sound and live spatialisation, inviting audiences to linger and listen within the space.

Drawing on Schwarz’s long-term research into insect communication, the performance treats stridulation as both method and metaphor: sound emerging through friction, repetition and collective synchrony. Field recordings, synthesis and live spatial control articulate shifting relationships between the individual and the swarm, the organic and the synthetic, the programmed and the emergent.

Stridulations is a site-responsive, multi-channel sound installation by Vienna-based sound artist Robert Schwarz, devised for the Oculus at ArtScience Museum. Adapted from Schwarz’s long-running research into insect and arthropod communication, the work takes its name from stridulation — a process through which sound is produced by friction between chitinous body parts.

Drawing from over two decades of ecological field recordings and sound experiments, Schwarz transforms these tiny, often unheard signals into an enveloping listening experience. Chirps and pulses drift through the space, forming ever-shifting sonic patterns that mirror the rhythms of insect life and the collective energies of the swarm.

Composed as a looping work for long-duration listening, Stridulations invites a mode of listening in which distinctions between the natural and the synthetic, the individual and the collective, begin to blur. Sound moves around and through the listener, suggesting an acoustic ecology that exceeds human scale and familiar ways of perceiving.

Presented as part of Forms of Life, ArtScience Museum’s wider seasonal focus on insects, ecology and more-than-human intelligences, Stridulations frames listening as a cross-species encounter and foregrounds sound as a medium of relation.

Robert Schwarz is a sound artist whose practice sits at the intersection of computer music, visual art and architecture. His work explores listening as an embodied and immersive experience, often blurring the boundaries between sound synthesis and field recording to create richly textured sonic environments.

Schwarz has presented his work internationally at institutions and festivals including CTM Berlin, MAK Center for Art and Architecture (Los Angeles), Kunsthalle Wien, Ars Electronica (Linz), Tokyo Arts and Space, Skaņu Mežs (Riga), Inner_Spaces (Milan) and Akousma (Montreal). His recordings have been released on labels such as Superpang, ETAT, ALTER and Gruenrekorder. He is the co-founder and curator of PARKEN, a Viennese festival dedicated to adventurous music and collective listening.

Signal & Swarm is a micro festival that explores intelligence in all its forms — biological, digital and mechanical. Inspired by the intricate worlds of Insects: Microsculptures Magnified and NOX: Confessions of a Machine, the programme weaves together practices of care, curiosity and co-evolution to invite reflection on urban futures, machine empathy and the hidden lives of insects.

Across walk-in activities, hands-on workshops, guided tours, talks, film screenings, live performance and a sound installation, Signal & Swarm offers spaces for repair, discovery and collective imagination. At its heart, the festival celebrates forms of intelligence that often go unseen, revealing what becomes possible when circuits meet colonies, and when care extends beyond the human.

Signal & Swarm is presented as a special event within ArtScience Museum’s year-long season Forms of Life: Beyond the Human, which explores multispecies worlds, more-than-human intelligences, and the systems that shape life on Earth.
