Li estas kiu? was a site-specific immersive multimedia performance installation that integrated various algorithms and gestures for a generative and interactive sonic, optic, and behavioural experience.
The piece explored intricate relationships among individuals, technology, and nature during an epoch marked by rapid information dissemination and telecommunications advancements. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, remote communication reached an unprecedented pinnacle in many countries. Through perhaps satirical expressions, the piece endeavors to unveil diverse perspectives on technology and nature, prompting contemplation on alternative mindsets amidst our evolving relationship with both.
The ideas were rendered through a hexaphonic surround sound system and 11 DMX fixtures consisting of 6 beam lights, 3 wash lights, a laser, and a fog generator, all controlled by a custom-built computer program designed and developed by the artist. In addition, utilising wireless communication between a smartphone and the computer, selected elements of the installation were manipulated in real-time by the performer's gestures.
