Refractive Index

MONOCOLOR (AT)

Refractive Index is an entirely generative audiovisual performance in a state of constant flux. Swarms of points form unstable shapes that oscillate between intricate, architectural formations and natural, organic patterns. Existing at the threshold between the synthetic and the natural—both visually and sonically—the work explores themes of transience and fragility.
