Amplified Anthropomorphic Machine

  • Science Gallery Melbourne The University of Melbourne Parkville, VIC, 3010 Australia (map)

Join performance artist Stelarc and sound designer Petros Vouris for a spectacular visual-meets-audio performance at Science Gallery Melbourne!

This performance will be structured (but certainly not scripted!) With attached sensors and contact microphones, the sounds of the Anthropomorphic Machine will be amplified, immersing you in its acoustic aura…
