purity and corruption

purity and corruption is a sound art installation created by artist Malte Steiner 2026 and first shown at his solo exhibition Assorted Realities 24. - 27. June 2026 at XM3 Aalborg (DK). Based on a XIAO SAMD21 microcontroller it generates with random parameters a pure sinus wave which got corrupted by another sinus wave by FM. The result is used to resonate a metal plate through a transducer which contributes to the corruption. The LEDs show the upper 8 bits of the 10 bit digital to analog converter of the microcontroller.
