The interpassive installation Noumen is an unusual musical work, a diffuse sound environment. In philosophy, a “noumen” is a thing in itself, a phenomenon that can be known by reason, but exists outside reason and unfolds beyond our agency.

The musical structure which we experience in contact with the work is arising at moments when several people gather at a location – in the park, next to a tree – where they can use their mobile devices to connect to the website noumen.info.

Nothing else needs to be done: the devices synchronously play variants of the musical theme.
