Anastasia Koroleva

In her installation “Sound Cage: A Sonic Labyrinth of Connection” Anastasia Koroleva’s labyrinth of hyper-directional “sound lasers” transforms space into an acoustic topology. It recalls Schafer’s acoustic ecology yet radicalizes it through relational aesthetics. Here, sound is not ambient but surgical – an assemblage of “sonic bubbles” that both isolate and intersect. As audiences navigate by listening alone, their bodies become interfaces, their movement a protocol of discovery. This installation reconfigures the digital-social network as a tangible maze, prompting us to question: when technology delineates our perceptual boundaries, where does connection truly reside?
