agar agar (2022)

agar agar is an audiovisual performance by Martina Moro and Fabian Lanzmaier. Different audio sources are sent to light objects and an audio transducer exciting liquids of different densities inside a container. The patterns appearing on the surface of the liquids are filmed and projected on a screen. Combining analog and digital tools they create an immersive space of abstract sound and visuals. Setting up an instrument in which the visual and auditory parts influence each other, they generate a system with its own dynamics and dependencies, resulting in a synesthetic experience.  agar agar is a performative instrument, a miniature stage, that under many spotlights, reveals an ecstatic choreography of patterns interacting with each other.
