For Amoeba’s Dance, Sanja Star developed a shifting, abstract micro-world inspired by amoebas and other unicellular organisms. Using 3D animation and generative processes, the live visuals operate as an autonomous system—stretching, merging, and mutating across the projection space.

The projected environment functions as a time-based visual ecosystem, where structures evolve through internal generative rules and dynamic spatial interactions. Visual form unfolds continuously in space and time, producing an immersive, evolving field that parallels the performance context without being driven by it.
