CH01R is an installation where art, technology, and emotion converge. A choir of robots, each designed as a unique character that seems to have emerged from the remnants of our civilization. As if they discovered our sheet music, imitated us, and then internalized it, they sing with voices that are both human and artificial.

CH01R consists of a series of robots, each equipped with its own computer and AI-generated soundtracks. They are interconnected and continuously seek each other out to perform their compositions in perfect synchronization. Each robot also translates sound into light, making the "singing" both audible and visible. This light creates an enchanting choreography that complements the sound. Their "heads" are transparent cubes, revealing both the light and the technology driving them.
