DE/GEN


2019-2020, Performance
DE / GEN is an audio-visual performance which uses analog-video feedback, and video>as>audio to create tones directly from a video signal. A repeatedly duplicated screen forms a grid of nine. These nine smaller “screens” are forced to constantly recalibrate to their surroundings, morphing and evolving with each generation. At times playful and at times jarring, the piece undulates between rhythm and noise, beat and shriek, generating and degenerating a constantly mutating soundscape.
