The newly inaugurated 'AB12 Cabinet' in Riga, founded by artist Paula Vītola, features a mesmerizing installation known as 'Charging' that integrates sound and light to create an interactive experience for visitors. These installations employ oscillators that respond to movements within the space, allowing visitors to become co-creators of the sound by influencing its quality and rhythm through their presence and movement. The immersive experience is designed to be different depending on where one stands in the room, highlighting the relationship between space, sound, and the individual.

In addition to being a premier exhibition space for sound art, 'AB12 Cabinet' serves as an alternative educational institution. It aims to provide innovative learning experiences that go beyond the traditional educational structures, focusing on sound manipulation and artistic expression. This dual role allows the laboratory not only to exhibit groundbreaking sound art but also to educate the public about the intricacies of sound production and the artistic processes involved in creating it. It offers workshops and collaborative projects that encourage participants to explore their creative potential through sound.

The opening of the AB12 Cabinet marks a significant development in Riga's cultural landscape, showcasing the city’s commitment to fostering contemporary art and innovative educational practices. This initiative not only enhances the local art scene but also positions Riga as a hub for experimental sound art, encouraging local and international artists to engage with new forms of artistic expression and audience interaction.
