Meandering Rivers premiered at Funkhaus, Berlin in July, 2018 and is an audiovisual installation that captures the natural forces that have actually shaped landscapes over time. The vibrant and dynamic textures show the unchanged nature with all the transformations going around in life. Based on a bespoke algorithm, the rippling and oscillating movement inherent in the generated imagery, provides a vantage point that transforms an understanding of progress, to examine the rhythm of natural forces.
The “Meandering River” is a multi-channel video with a set generative soundscape and the music has been composed by an A.I. (in collaboration with Kling Klang Klong) playing that shifts in tone when the river and surface patterns shift while this video is playing which further adds on movement through sonic sound and visuals. An interesting harmony is created through the installation creating an audio-visual journey and the the viewer is left with a humbling sense of the unpredictability of change and the beauty of nature.
