A Line Has Two Sides

Using glitches harvested from an Atari 2600 game console, a triptych audiovisual spectacle is performed in real-time. By triggering hundreds of clips and positioning them in space and time, the audience is wrapped in a pulsating foil of visual music made entirely from the sound of the source clips—a signature of the JAWA method first developed by Richardson in 1996. Abstract expression inspired in equal parts by Kandinsky and Pan sonic. This was a live performance recorded for screening purposes. Live performance booking is available.
