Sweepcase is an interactive sound installation inviting visitors to place everyday objects into a suitcase. When closed, the system sonifies the objects’ material traits, creating ephemeral soundscapes. It challenges fixed authorship and meaning, redistributing agency among audience, objects, system, and artists, and invites reflection on the poetic and performative potential of the mundane.

The project was realized with support from III.Lab, funded by AIT–Austrian Institute of Technology, the University of Salzburg, Land Salzburg (grant 20102/F2300416-KZP), and the Schmiede Hallein festival and participating smiths.
