'My Marvellous Impression Management Impotence' is an interactive, agent-based sound installation with 24 speakers and eight microphones and was realized as part of my Bachelor´s thesis at the University of the Arts, Bremen, supervised by Prof. Lischka and Prof. Schwoon.

People could speak (shout, sing, etc.) into one of the microphones, hanging from the ceiling. This sound would be recorded and given certain attributes that defined where and how the sound would now be played in the speaker's grid. A 'sound agent' would be created that would move independently in the grid (its 'ecosystem'). Two sound agents could create a new one ('produce an offspring') and each agent would age (altering the playback of the sound) and eventually die.
