2017-2018
AN IMPROV PERFORMANCE SERIES FOR SOUND + LIVE PAINTING

Performed with Meason Wiley, this series explores approaches to sonic/visual improvisation, focusing on methods of conversation between two artists of different mediums. Each performance embodies a unique approach to real-time creation of interactive multimedia art in front of an audience. Both the sound and visual components are directly influenced by each other by a series of conversational “rules” defined by the artists. Additional interactive and technological components were introduced that allow each artist to influence the other’s artwork.
