Liquid Light

Performance Practice

I perform live-feed, improvised video as an inquiry into sonic-material investigation. These works serve as studies in audiovisual collaboration, experiments in live perceptual 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 that reveals 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 thinking 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 a rendered simulation.

This ongoing practice follows 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.

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 visuals contrast this algorithmic symphony with organic generative systems: pigment, clay, bubbles, and microscopic creatures. Together, we construct a ecology between machine and material, where perception oscillates between the digital and the elemental, and awe arises from their entanglement.
