Artist Ivana Dama presents Figures in Air

Figures in Air is a performance that transforms invisible gestures into sound.

Using analog synthesizers, artist Ivana Dama creates an atmospheric and ambient soundscape shaped by custom-made capacitive sensors developed in collaboration with the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms, alongside Neil Gershenfeld and Quentin Bolsee. Sensitive to proximity and subtle movement, these instruments allow her to activate sound by appearing to touch nothing at all, composing in space, as if shaping air itself.
