2020 – 2021, sound pieces
During the pandemic, artist Moritz Simon Geist decided to use his free time to produce video works that would be broadcasted live on Instagram.
He started to create sound machines that used everyday objects in a surprising way: a sea shell making oscillating, nearly synthetic noises or metal and plastic objects emitting ASMR-like sounds. His creations gained a lot of attention online and can now be seen at the Device_art festival.
Moritz Simon Geist is a performer, musicologist, and robotics engineer. He began his artistic practice because he wanted to invent the future of electronic music – with robots! His projects range from robotic music performances to robotic sound installations. Over the past several years, his robotic instruments and performances have been shown at numerous European festivals and exhibitions, earning him numerous international awards. From 2015 to 2020, Geist lectured on the progression of technology and society at the Clive Davies Institute of the New York University in Berlin. He has a background in both classical music and robotics engineering, with an expertise in prototyping technologies and 3D printing. Geist lives and works in Dresden, Germany, where his workshop-studio is located.
