what, de facto

Written for ensemble K!ART, this multimedia composition is an ongoing work being rewritten/realized with each performance. Images and video of previous performances, performers, venues and audience comments are compounded into a constant narrative within the work.

Using live animation and synthesized sounds programmed in LISP, the performers and the concert space are simulated and instrumentalized through a recursive relationship between the actual and the
representative. In this scenario, the traditional causal links between live performer and video are discarded
in place of a ‘de facto’ hierarchy.
