Welcome to the 2024 Association Awards — the world's first awards show honoring exclusively non-human creations.

Antfood Music & Sound Design labored to craft the story, visuals, music and sound in this timely love letter to our community of music creators. As new technologies offer both opportunities and disruption, delight and disgust, we set out to tell the lighthearted story of the joy of making music as a community.

Your System is a Garden, Too

This anti-interactive installation urges patience by inviting us to become active participants in mindfulness and attention. From the moment we enter this generative multi-channel algorithmic ecosystem, we become intrinsically linked to it. Our presence and stillness help the garden flourish, while our movement causes it to recede. Technological ecologies, which flourish or perish, allow us to reflect on our place and interactions within broader systems.

For this exhibition piece, we teamed up with Future Deluxe and Artists & Engineers to create a generative installation where sound and visuals work together.
