This interactive exhibit is based on a drum machine. The user can input the beginning of a drum pattern, then use either AI or a random algorithm to complete it and play it.

The exhibit is part of the temporary exhibition ”Ça Résonne”, which explores the question: What is sound? While the first answer that comes to mind might be “something we hear,” the exhibition explores the question from a mathematical and computational perspective.

How can we represent sound (which is a vibration)? How do these representations offer us a new perspective on sound? How can sound be recorded and reproduced?

Through numerous hands-on and digital activities in which sounds are always juxtaposed with their representations, the exhibition will answer these questions and many others.
