BEN VIDA : SOFT SYSTEMS MUSIC

Edition of 50

Hand cut lathe recording on 7" lacquer with laser engraving.

Full color gatefold and broadside insert.

Soft Systems Music uses facial recognition software as a compositional tool to sonify the smile.

Vida then transforms the expressions of smiling actors into what he calls a "soft system”—a blend of the human and algorithmic, in which any subtle motion alters the composition.

This work debuted in his 2016 exhibition, [SMILE ON.] ... [PAUSE] ... [SMILE OFF.] and was later adapted to a live performance for E.S.P. TV's "Lifestyle Guru" event in 2017.
