Making Music With Tiny Robot Cars
How do you make music if you can't read musical notation? With the help of robots. London-based artist and sound designer Yuri Suzuki explains the motivation behind his project Looks Like Music.

For its summer project, Mudam Publics Department invited the Japanese creator Yuri Suzuki to conceive Looks Like Music, an audiovisual installation based on his work Colour Chaser. This consists of a miniature robot which detects and follows a circuit, a black line traced in marker pen, interspersed with coloured reference points that the device translates in sound. The public is invited to actively contribute to the development of the installation in the exhibition space by extending the circuit drawn on paper. Visitors thus participate in the creation of a large-scale artwork and enrich a collectively composed sound piece. A series of events and workshops accompanies the project during the month of August.
