Momenta: Collaborative AudioVisual Performance System
Momenta is a new form of AudioVisual Installation, it can also be transformed into a live performance system of any scale. Inspired by the art of “remixing on-the-fly”, Momenta is an open-platform, interactive, rig that invites the audience-participants to compose and (re)create what they see and hear instantaneously, inviting everyone to act upon their inspired impulses. Spatially, strategically placed screen-based stations surrounds the parameter of an experiential space, immersing the audience inside of a playground filled with sound and light. These interfaces contain visuals corresponding and represents the musical elements that you hear, through tangibly touching the visualizers you can interact, play, and manipulate the aural-visual elements as your senses wish. In short, each station represents an “instrument”, and participants are empowered with the sense of creating their own composition. The concept was originally conceived together with Arthur Oskan and Markus Heckmann. The intention of introducing such collaborative performance platform has since been reinterpreted in various iterations.
