Exploring
the interconnection and collective agency between human and non-human
intelligence, this project utilizes real-time data and sensors to
dynamically shape the visual and sonic elements of a virtual world.
Real-time biometric data from performers’ movements and living
microbiomes are streamed into the virtual ecosystem to explore the
interconnectivity among diverse living entities.
