Mechatronic Harmonies, a translation of instructions and knowledge

9 February 2016

abstr^ct:groove is a Milan, Italy, based production and design studio, who work mainly “on developing uncommon audiovisual projects in communication and advertising”. Mechatronic Harmonies is the result of a recent collaboration with Wittenstein, a German manufacturer of high-precision electro-mechanical systems.

This description of the creative process probably better describes how Mechatronic Harmonies came to be, than I could:

After a series of meetings at their laboratories, we were asked to translate all the instructions and knowledge we received in images and sounds, but within a well defined task limitation: no technical data could be conveyed in a linear or didactic manner.
