This exhibition invites the audience into a field of pure acoustic resonance. Centered around the artwork Gamelatron ViaOro, the space is designed for reflection and deep listening. ViaOro is a monumental kinetic sculpture featuring 36 hand-tuned bronze and steel gongs and eight metal keys. Through a physical computing system, electromagnetic mallets strike the instruments with precision, transforming 10 freestanding sculptural “towers” and “racks” into a living, breathing mechanical orchestra. The result is a total immersion in sound—a sanctuary of vibration and stillness.
Kuffner’s Gamelatron sculptures have notably exhibited at the 56th Venice Biennale, the Smithsonian, and Hammer Museum, among many others.
The Dome is location on the upper level of Yale Schwarzman Center at 168 Grove Street New Haven, CT, 06511
