Artists Statement

KikiT VisuoSonic Performance involves the live interaction and generation of sonics and visuals in a performance space. KikiT challenges the notion of interface by fusing sonics anbd visuals together through a positive feedback loop. The group are concerned with interrogating the relationships between liveness, play, interactivity and the inter-play between sonics and visuals in real-time. ‘Synaesthesia’, ‘visual music’, ‘painting music’ and ‘chromatic music’ investigations together with new theories regarding ‘interactivity’ provide conceptual tools for the development a theory of digital live performance – the synthesis of sonics and visuals.
