Don't Look At Me (2024)

Moritz Simon Geist explores the intersection of sound, robotics and digital culture, building kinetic instruments and audio installations that investigate the mechanics of music production in the 21st century. Through scientific research and playful experimentation, Geist aims to make technology audible and tangible, turning abstract digital processes into physical performance. The artist’s practice reflects on the role of machines in our future, bridging the gap between AI, art, innovation and human experience. Don't Look at Me (2024) is an “algo-kinetic” installation that reacts to human attention – growing disharmonic under crowd focus, and calm when left alone. It functions as an “anti-social media algorithm,” critiquing how digital systems manipulate attention.
