In ancient Greek architecture, a “THOLOS“ was a circular building, with a conical or vaulted roof, with or without a peristyle, or surrounding colonnade.  With the passing of time, the THOLOI developed into becoming a sacred place for communicating with the Gods, the symbol for contact beyond the realms of people’s imagination.
My Temple  at the ZKM is a copy the Greek Temple at  Delphi constructed from recycled loudspeakers that are soldered together as an “active” public sound sculpture.
