PERFORMANCE
Tet’s performance is a satirical live performance presented as a musical & visual multifaceted’s project focused on finding an instinctive and radical audio language generated by the intermediary of sensors, DIY Softwares, Game Engines, Face-tracking, & Internet browsing/borrowing. Every facet of this work are constantly changing, which clears the various modes of visual & sound’s generation in a reflex mode, intuitive and playful. This performance is like an attack of epilepsy, convulsive and unpredictable in staccato deconstruction.
