As part of the international festival of contemporary art Ars Electronica, I participated in the audiovisual performance "Uncanny Dreams", created in collaboration with the art group SENSE and performers Diana Burkot and Ildar Yakubov. At the core of this performance was sound — the emphasis was on the diversity of means through which it could be created. The audio was produced using electronic musical instruments, game engines, homemade synthesizers, the performers' own voices, field recordings, and even an industrial robot.
The visual component also deserves special attention: the video art for the performance was generated in real time based on the audio, and the camera for the online broadcast was operated by a large industrial robot controlling the camera’s flight.
The performance took place on September 11, 2021, in a hybrid format: at the CUBE space of the Flacon venue in Moscow, as well as via an online broadcast on the official Ars Electronica platform.
