About ‘alles’:
‘alles’ is an Audio-Visual performance composed of Japanese visual artist Acci Baba and Iranian percussionist Mohammad Reza Mortazavi. The work explores the synchronicity among optical-sonic archetypes, emerging from the improvised and sequenced expressions.
The phenomena-like experience navigates viewers into the timeless perception, encountering an imaginary universe and non-physical metaverse. Through the timeless perception, ‘alles’ is an artistic attempt to recognize ourselves as a part of a whole.
The recorded performance will be projected into the screen located in the virtual world, engaging into an immersive experience for virtual Burn 2021 (BRCvr).
