Life Circuit

2nd Series + 10 Mar 2019 Stamford Arts Centre

Life Circuit is a series of audiovisual work made since 2009 with modified wearable headgears constructed into video and audio gadgets for live performative interactions. These technological interventions are inspired of nature’s complex networks. Altering human functionality and interactivity, the artist forms a 'circuit' between the audiences, medium, moving images, sounds, and spaces, replacing human senses in perception and expressions.
