In audio synthesis, an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillation) is a rhythmic impulse – often imperceptible to the ear – that modulates sound, introducing movement into an otherwise static tone. In LFO, this principle is translated into the physical domain: electricity becomes the driving force that sets metal strings into motion, probing the boundary between the organic and the inorganic, and staging a perpetual cycle of tension and release.
Installed at Rampa Prenestina, the work inhabits the architectural space as a sensitive system, responding to its dimensions, shadows, and rhythms. Light marks the cadence of this respiration: incandescence signals the act of inhalation, expanding matter into space, while its gradual dimming accompanies exhalation, returning the strings to darkness and their initial rigidity. The installation unfolds as a continuous oscillation—an embodied pulse that renders time visible through vibration, light, and electrical energy.
