Alter-Projects Presents Multi-Sensory Installation Metronome for London Design Biennale 2021

In partnership with Servaire & Co., Alter-Projects is putting forward an audio-olfactory installation triggering a succession of sounds and scents through the oscillation of a large metronome. In response to the Biennale’s theme of Resonance, Metronome aims to trigger a combination of visual, olfactory and sound emotions, plunging spectators into a meditative internal journey in a communal space, highlighting the importance of human and interpersonal reconnection. 

Following this dramatic year, which will no doubt remain in our collective memory for years to come, Metronome creates a time bubble for visitors to reconnect with themselves and their deep-seeded memory, enabling them to feel at peace with themselves and the world around them. The project is exceptionally relevant to the zeitgeist of 2021, allowing visitors to reflect through their senses in a collective yet safe way.
