Subtera

A participatory ecosystem that merges live music,

game dramaturgy, and ecological sensing

Subtera transforms a concert setting into a co-created sonic ecosystem.

Subtera actively engages audiences through participatory game mechanics.

Subtera translates the invisible cycles of soil into a tangible audiovisual experience.

Subtera raises soil awareness and fosters ecological tranformation.

Concept

In an immersive audiovisual setup, five musicians of the Soil Music Collective (voices, cello, percussion, tuba, keyboards, beats) surround the audience on platforms. A real-time game enginge projects a 3D visual work that adapts to audience input, turning the performance into an ever-changing artwork. The audience actively co-creates the performance by completing tasks. moving through the space, and activating sensors that trigger real-time visual and sonic tranformations. The musicians blend acoustic sounds with live-recorded soil sonorities, equipped with sensors and data gloves.
