Liquid Light
Performance PracticeThese works are studies in audiovisual collaboration, experiments with live image systems. In time with my sonic collaborator, I animate materials such as clay, ink, paint, glue, and soap within vats of water. The tank of water becomes a miniature world, where macroscopic processes as matter dissolves, filters, decays, expands, or contracts. These ephemeral, unrepeatable moments are meant to be experienced at the site of creation, where spectators witness particles evolving in real time.
These collaborations function as small-scale acts of collective resistance against the increasing unreality of digital image production in the age of AI. Through live-feed video technology, I deconstruct the apparatus of image generation using the tools of the trade: broadcast switchers, camcorders, video synthesizers, and digital projectors. By repurposing these devices, Liquid Light becomes a shared inquiry into how attention can be grounded in the present moment, rather than in rendered simulations.
This ongoing practice builds on the lineage of expanded cinema—from the Joshua Light Show to László Moholy-Nagy’s Bauhaus experiments and Thomas Wilfred’s Lumia instruments. My approach is an embodied art-historical method that revives analog image-making techniques as a means to study systems of attention and collective perception.
Ambient Mass
Series of Audio/Visual Collaborations
Performed at Mass Gallery, Austin TX.
Collaborators: Uxelite, Plume Girl, Lindsey Verrill, Wish Lash
2024-2025
David Slowing X Britt Moseley
Performed at Ivester Contemporary, Austin, TX.
Collaboration with David Slowing
Austin Chronicle Recommended Event, August 29 Edition
2025
David Slowing is a musician exploring machine learning and generative digital systems. In this performance, his AI “collaborator” generates repeating bars of musical data that he interprets through analog and digital synthesizers. My live-feed imagery contrast with this compositional structure with organic generative systems: pigment, clay, bubbles, and microscopic creatures. We steered these unfolding structures to create a awe in living and technological systems.
Entre-Vues
Performed during CAST (Contemporary Art Sound Technologies) at Dadalab, Austin, TX.
Collaboration with composer Dr. Stylianos Dimou
Audio score performed by the SoundMap Ensemble
2026
Entre-Vues was an audio-visual collaboration with the experimental composer Dr. Stylianos Dimou, whose music was performed by the SoundMap Ensemble. I performed the video imagery in time with the ensemble, manipulating liquids, paint, and video feedback signals in time with the composition. This was commissioned by Dadalab and the University of Texas, Butler School of Music and performed for the show CAST (Contemporary Art & Sound Technologies) at Dadalab, Austin, TX.
Sonic Rodeo Festival
A gathering devoted to experimental sound, art, collective experience, and deep listening
Performed at MAINTENANT, Marfa, TX.
Collaboration with Virginia L. Montgomery (visual) and Theo Krantz (audio)
2025
