AV Live: Soirée électro
Experience an evening where sound and image unfold in real time. Inspired by Nuit électro music experiences in Europe, AV Live: Soirée électro brings together a live ambient music set by Patrick Perez, with generative visuals by Hagop Ohannessian to create an enveloping audio-visual environment. Layers of evolving soundscapes and shifting digital forms transform the space into an immersive performance that blurs the line between concert and exhibition, offering audiences a chance to step inside a living artwork.
