Vector Field is an audiovisual performance that explores the real-time manipulation of minimalist vector streams, dynamically shaped and distorted by sound. The piece creates a direct connection between sound and image, where the sonic energy acts as a catalyst, continuously transforming the visual landscape in real time.
Inspiration
Many scientists propose that what we commonly call “time” is merely our perception of the continuous quantum state changes of matter. In this view, there is no before and no after — only a perpetual present where everything is in constant transformation. This idea serves as the conceptual backbone of Vector Field, where the artist creates a three-dimensional, homophonic, and abstract structure, inspired by the principles of topology and the common representation of sound waves in Western culture.
In Vector Field, these minimalist, computer-generated forms evolve continuously, drawing an elusive, organic continuum that reflects the inner perception of the artist. The performance relies on the real-time transformation of visual artifacts by sound material, generating transient 3D geometries that are explored by the displacement of a virtual camera, moving in symbiosis with the sound, which acts as a guiding force, creating ruptures, contrasts, and moments of emotional tension.
This ongoing quest for live equilibrium between visual and sonic media results in a performance with a radical and highly dynamic presence, where dense soundscapes and minimal geometries merge into a journey of immersive metamorphosis.
