The Long Fall
Jiabao Li (CN), Manu Prakash (US), Will Tallent (US), Michael Bruner (US)
The Long Fall is a live audiovisual descent through the ocean’s vertical column, revealing how microscopic plankton shape Earth’s carbon cycle. Using data from 18 ocean expeditions, the performance features a “plankton instrument” and narration by the AI-revived voice of Rachel Carson.
Refractive Index
MONOCOLOR (AT)
Refractive Index is a generative audiovisual performance in constant flux. Swarms of points form unstable shapes that shift between architectural structures and organic patterns. Existing at the threshold between synthetic and natural, it evokes transience and fragility in both image and sound.
