flows is a real-time sound–video installation that translates the movements of urban birds into melodic structures. The birds’ trajectories, speed, and density are mapped directly into sound, creating a continuously evolving auditory experience. Unpredictable and unique, the birds’ movements produce singular, non-reproducible sound events. The work explores temporal and ecological layers embedded within urban space beyond human-centered perception.

Dahye Seo is a South Korean multimedia artist based in Germany. Her practice spans diverse media, including sound, moving image, and installation, often engaging with scientific methodologies. She explores relationships between humans and non-humans, organic and mechanical entities, and temporalities spanning past, present, and future.
In recent works, she has focused on visualizing the autonomous movement of molecules beyond human perception to poetically reflect on the cyclical nature of life and death. Her works have been presented at the Ars Electronica Media Art Festival for three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024.
