From Northern-Southern:
“robotic sound sculptures in group meditation Un•verb examines the implausibility of stillness through sculptures issuing sound. The exhibition features a gallery of robotic musical objects chanting and chatting with each other in an aspirational din. They attempt to attain health, wholeness, and calm, referencing still life painting, noise pollution, self-help literature, consumer culture, and guided meditation. Matt Steinke”s work and practice is—in turns and all-at-once—music, robotics, sculpture, animation, instrument building, puppetry, and computer programing. Agnostic of discipline, Steinke imbues objects with voice and identity– mechanical sound sculptures that mimic the behaviors and personalities of animals, people, plants, and machines. The objects discourse, chant, and interact in group ruminations on consumerism, morality, transcendence, ecology, health, and neurodiversity”
