'Future Shock Orchestra', the interdisciplinary project on instrument invention and augmentation led by researcher Chiara Percivati and run in collaboration with the Design Faculty of UAntwerp, was chosen as one of the workshops for Xplore Design Week 2024 where students from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and the University of Antwerp’s Product Development courses collaboratively developed four prototypes of musical instruments, which were showcased in a final performance-exhibition.
Testing and refinement will progress through rehearsals and collective improvisations on April 17th, culminating in a public performance on May 17th.
