Remote X

by Rimini Protokoll


In Remote X, a group of 50 people set off into the city wearing headphones. They are guided by a synthetic voice - as we know them from GPS navigators. The encounter with this artificial intelligence leads the group to perform an experiment on themselves. How are joint decisions made? Who do we follow when we are guided by algorhythms?

As a sound designer, I was involved in 33 adaptations worldwide. In each city, an individual soundtrack (sound concept: Nikolas Neecke) was created from text, field recordings and music.
