Artist and composer Aaron Taylor Kuffner discusses his immersive sonic installation at the Hammer Museum. Inspired by traditional Indonesian Gamelanpercussion-based ensemble musicand created in partnership with Balinese master craftsmen, Kuffner's kinetic sculptures connect the rich cultural history of Indonesia with contemporary robotics and orchestration. The installation includes a five-part kinetic sculpture, the Gamelatron Bunganya Dewa ("Flowers of the Gods" in Indonesian), which plays site-responsive compositions throughout the day for the duration of the exhibition. Considered a sanctuary by the artist and replete with comfortable seating, the installation is intended to provide a respite for visitors.
