artbl.a #10 - Martha & Andrea
artbl.a #10 brought together cymata.ava and andrea dave for an immersive audio visual performance where sound and image ceased to exist independently.
The evening unfolded through live coded visuals; shapes, textures, and light responding in real time to the frequencies filling the room. Music did not accompany the visuals; it generated them. Every shift in tone, every pulse and pause, translated directly into what guests saw around them, creating a single, unified sensory field.
Subtle yet striking. Comforting yet powerful.
A gathering shaped by frequencies, it drew those present into a quiet, collective trance; alert and still, held between the familiar and the unknown.
