Folded Maps of Time (FoMaTi) is an immersive audio-visual performance that integrates biosensoric electromagnetic systems (MC) and object-oriented electrified percussion (CC).
The audience is surrounded by a multichannel sound and video system, as if inside a virtual brain, with multiple inlets, outlets, channels, and entanglements: our folded maps of time – a constant flow. Brain activity is projected as a virtual floating model, integrated with 3D laser extended mapping system, with biofeedback playing a significant role in all aspects of the performance.
