Performed at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Athens, Greece on June 19, 2018.
A commission by ACME (American Contemporary Music Ensemble) to produce a visual accompaniment for their performance of Laurie Spiegel's modular synth epic 'The Expanding Universe' at the 2018 Summer Nostos Festival. I generated images based on my previous research into 'bad UV mapping' and explored various ways they could be motion overlayed to produce interference patterns. The resulting animation seemed to suggest an endlessly unfolding dimension as suggested by the composition.
