Audiovisual performance, 2010.

In the Catatonic State Society, all members live in a state of reduced consciousness. Saccading their heads on spastic pulses or just in plain inertia, they seem indifferent to perception. These rhythmical units do interact however, they behave in surprising ways towards one another. They move in and out of sync, form complex superstructures to shift from texture to crystalline structures, rhythmic pulses and back again.

Catatonic State Society was a process oriented project that researched autonomous agents, a form of artificial intelligence. The agents have complex interactions that generate urban structures. These structures are used as a landscape canvas for an audiovisual performance.
