Right now, somewhere, a sensing device is listening — intercepting the Bluetooth signals constantly emitted by phones, watches, and wearables in the surrounding space. That data is streaming here, live, translated into light and sound.
Each detected signal becomes a particle in three-dimensional space. Proximity becomes pitch. The collective movement of presence and absence shapes a composition that no one may be witnessing at any given moment — and that's the point. The work runs continuously, attended or not.
Celestial Signals is a signal intervention, not a display. It doesn't wait for you.
