Orchestrated Objective Emergence
(Opus1)
I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of “cause-and-consequences.” Thus I want to create a piece you can see, hear, and feel that idea.

A little peak while In progress…
Orchestrated Objective Emergence is a performance art piece that includes a composed theater and a real-time large-scale interactive sound installation complete with the collective creativity of, and performance by, its audience.
Opus1 takes an original approach to content and form by visualizing cause-and-consequence's complex fabric through a socially engaged, interactive, and collective real-time sonic composition. The installation breaks the barrier between stage and audience, creating a unique experience where the audience simultaneously functions as authors, performers, observers, and collaborators. The installation is designed to be playful and trigger curiosity while allowing the audience to exchange ideas by co-composing a complex soundscape and, in a tactile manner, comprehending the flow between free will and cause-and-effect mechanics.
