AV Live: Neon Paradise

Friday, November 21, 6 pm, 2025
Walker Court, Art Gallery of Ontario

In this series of AV Live: Neon Paradise, a collaboration between Mukhran Machaviriani (sound and visuals) and Hagop Ohannessian (visuals), audiences are invited into a multimedia performance at the intersection of art, technology, and nature. This innovative presentation combines data-driven 3D scans, generative imagery, and immersive sound to create a dynamic new media experience. Transforming Walker Court into an engulfing environment of light and movement, the work evokes the vibes of an electronic island paradise—an audio-visual landscape where digital art becomes a living, evolving space.
