Synthetic Landscapes

Synthetic Landscapes is a captivating live performance within the Chromosphere Dome, blending avant-garde electroacoustic music with stunning photogrammetric and 3D visuals. The immersive soundscapes, created with intricate experimental textures, envelop the audience, while the projection of digital landscapes—woven from specks—transforms the dome into an ever-evolving abstract universe. Together, they create a journey through synthetic terrains, where sound and vision converge to explore the boundaries of the known and the imagined.
