RABIA is an interactive sound installation that invites public engagement through the physical expression of anger. In an era where anger and political tension are increasingly commodified in digital spaces yet physically suppressed in public ones, RABIA reclaims anger and embodiment as a powerful catalyst for personal and social transformation.

The installation features an instrument crafted from boxing bags, each embedded with M5Stick sensors that capture and respond to participants' physical interactions. As participants strike the bags, the sensors translate bodily expressions into digital signals, which are processed through TouchDesigner, Ableton, and Max/MSP to generate responsive audiovisual compositions.

The soundscape is built upon an AI model trained using a variational autoencoder that contains pre-recorded anger expressions from volunteers. As participants strike the bags, each impact navigates to a specific location within the AI's latent space, generating a soundscape that connects participants with their present rage while engaging with a repository of collective emotional memory.

RABIA has been presented at IASLab in Barcelona (January 2025) and will be featured at OFFF Festival in Barcelona (May 2025). The installation is highly adaptable to various exhibition spaces and can be configured in multiple ways, from traditional punching bags to the speed bag harp-like instrument, allowing for flexibility based on spatial constraints and curatorial contexts.
