Artist and composer Robin Meier Wiratunga seeks to understand the emergence of patterns and thoughts, be it for people, insects, flocks, algorithms, rivers

Collaborating closely with scientific researchers, Meier Wiratunga’s work blends machine learning with insights from animal intelligence, creating constellation scores where musical patterns emerge as ‘thinking tools’. With a bag of tricks from sound, science and sorcery he composes thinking tools he never quite manages to master.

Referred to as “Artist of the future” (le Monde), “Maestro of the swarm” (Nature) or simply “pathetic” (Vimeo) his investigations have been conducted internationally, with Palais de Tokyo, Centre Pompidou, Shanghai Biennale and Colomboscope Sri Lanka amongst others.

Meier Wiratunga is a collaborator at IRCAM Centre Pompidou in Paris, teaches Sound Arts at the HKB Academy of the Arts in Bern and is a fellow of the Istituto Svizzero in Rome.

In 2024, Robin Meier and Vimala Pons were selected for the sixth edition of Connect.
