A live, trans-disciplinary improvisation

This performance brought together improvised electric guitar, cello, live electronics, spoken text, and live painting.

Developed alongside ongoing research into embodiment, authorship, and generative systems, the work positions painting as a material counterpoint to computational logics of speed and optimisation. Paint slows things down. It sticks to the canvas. It holds friction, gravity, and the trace of the body.

This performance forms part of an ongoing exploration of collaboration, distributed agency, and painting as an ancient yet adaptive technology - one that continues to question, re-sensitise, and hold complexity in the present.
