FREQ:RES

Timeframe: 2019–ongoing

[freq:res] is a long-term artistic research line investigating the relationship between sound and visual form through frequency-based structures and real-time audiovisual systems. The research focuses on how acoustic parameters—such as frequency, rhythm, amplitude, and vibration—can function as compositional drivers for visual transformation.

The practice is grounded in data-informed processes, live improvisation, and responsive audiovisual environments. Sound is approached not as an accompanying element, but as a structural force that shapes spatial, temporal, and perceptual conditions within visual systems.

[freq:res] unfolds across performance, installation, and collaborative experimentation, using modular and generative systems to explore listening as a methodological tool. Within this research, frequency is treated as architecture, vibration as composition, and improvisation as a mode of inquiry that enables adaptive, site-responsive work.

OPT:EXP

Timeframe: 2025–ongoing

[opt:exp] is a long-term artistic research line investigating optical systems, light-based phenomena, and perceptual processes as compositional tools within audiovisual practice. The research examines how light, material absence, and optical behavior can function as active agents in shaping spatial, temporal, and embodied experience.

Positioned at the intersection of contemporary art, scientific inquiry, and experimental media, [opt:exp] focuses on the performative potentials of optics, including laser systems, diffraction, holographic processes, and responsive light environments. Light is approached not only as a visual element, but as a structural and relational medium capable of influencing perception, orientation, and bodily awareness.

The study unfolds across performance, installation, and collaborative experimentation, often involving dialogue with scientists, technologists, and theorists. Through site-specific testing and live systems, [opt:exp] frames optics as both a material and methodological field, enabling research into perception, non-material systems, and expanded modes of audiovisual expression.

Live Improvisation

Live improvisation is a central methodological component of the practice. It functions as a research tool through which audiovisual systems are tested, adjusted, and composed in real time. Working with sound, image, and light as interdependent variables, improvisation enables immediate feedback between sensory input, system behavior, and performative decision-making.

Rather than serving as an expressive gesture alone, live improvisation is used to investigate temporal structures, perceptual thresholds, and site-specific conditions. It allows complex audiovisual systems to remain open, adaptive, and responsive, supporting research processes that prioritize emergence, listening, and situational awareness over fixed compositional outcomes.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Interdisciplinary collaboration is integral to the development of the practice. Projects are realized through ongoing exchange with artists, musicians, scientists, technologists, and theorists, forming hybrid working contexts that connect artistic research with scientific and technical inquiry.

These collaborations support the exploration of complex systems such as acoustics, optics, data processing, and perceptual science, enabling the development of works that operate across disciplinary boundaries. Collaboration is approached not as a service relationship, but as a shared research process in which knowledge, tools, and methodologies are collectively tested and reconfigured.
