This live audio-reactive visual performance combines Hydra, TouchDesigner, and archival footage to create an evolving dialogue between sound, image, and perception. Responding in real time to rhythm, intensity, and atmosphere, the visuals move between generative systems, manipulated recordings, and layered digital textures. Drawing from expanded cinema, the performance constructs a live audiovisual narrative in which images are continuously transformed, juxtaposed, and recontextualized. The narrative emerges through the interaction between sound and image, often referencing political events, social tensions, collective memory, and the influence of media on perception.
