A/V Performance for Edge of Light

December 3, 2020

Edge of Light performance still

I performed an a/v set with an 8 foot weather balloon for the opening of Edge of Light, an exhibition curated by Jonathan Sims for HoloCenter. The opening performances were curated by Testu Collective. The opening took place on December 3 and our performances were streamed online.

This was my first time incorporating this large spherical balloon into a live performance with analog video synthesis. I found that I was able to create a variety of weather patterns, as one might see on the surface of a gas giant planet.
