Yuri Suzuki's latest artwork involves mini robots following a hand drawn circuit, turning colored parts of the track into sound. Called Looks Like Music the audiovisual installation is inspired by his piece Color Chaser and is currently being exhibited at MUDAM in Luxembourg.
Suzuki's background as both a sound artist and product/interactive designer is evident in the design of the unusual-looking robots. These "Color Chasers", produced by Dentaku, look like designer products and each have a different name—like basscar, glitchcar, drumcar—which relates to the different type of sounds they produce from the color markings. With sound programming by Mark McKeague the different robots combine bass, percussion, drum and other noises to create a chaotic symphony.(via http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/miniature-robots-follow-a-hand-drawn-circuit-translating-color-into-sound by The Creators Project Team — Aug 22 2013)
