About FanRows
FanRows is an independent experimental system developed to explore sound as space - treating sound as a continuous, spatial field shaped by physical presence over time.
Instead of instruments, symbolic controls, or performance-oriented interfaces, FanRows investigates how movement, stillness, and duration influence the behavior of sound when interaction is reduced to its physical minimum.
The project is not conceived as a platform, community, or creative tool. It is a research-oriented environment for observing how perception and auditory feedback evolve within continuous, non-symbolic systems.
Focus
FanRows investigates conditions under which continuous body–sound coupling leads to:
- reduced exploratory activity,
- sustained bodily stillness,
- and perceptual stabilization over time.
Rather than enabling expressive output or collaborative creation, the system emphasizes sound as an emergent spatial state, not as a composed or designed artifact.
Methodological Orientation
- Non-symbolic systems: No scores, commands, or control language
- Minimal technical mediation: Standard consumer hardware to maintain ecological validity
- Continuity over events: Gradual change instead of trigger-based interaction
- Observation over performance: Sessions are exploratory, not performative
FanRows does not aim to optimize creativity, productivity, expressiveness, or user engagement.
Development Context
FanRows is currently developed as a self-contained experimental system. Exchanges with researchers or institutions may occur in the context of discussion, observation, or methodological reflection.
The project does not operate as a commissioned development framework or collaborative production platform.
While not conceived as a creative tool, FanRows may be examined within artistic and pedagogical contexts as a perceptual research artifact.
