This work is an audiovisual live performance created for the “Omotesando interactivité Exhibition,” which was held for one week from July to August 2024. Based on the theme of «interactivité» (the dialogue that emerges between two or more entities), it presented in real time how sound and form change in response to one another.
The visuals unfold around motifs such as waves and clusters of cubes, and in the middle section, a building appears. Here, a model of the architectural concept “A House That Separates Directions,” by monoton, was used and built so that it could be designed parametrically in TouchDesigner. By varying parameters related to the floor plan and structure, and by manipulating the camera viewpoint and sectional cuts, the work presents the relationship between sound and architectural form.
The music was generated through live performance using Ableton Live, and the OSC signals sent from its output, as well as input from MIDI controllers, were reflected in the control of the visuals. The imagery was rendered in real time with TouchDesigner, presenting to the audience a performance in which sound and visuals developed in response to one another.
