Tadej Droljc will showcase the performance Beambreaker, a piece composed of lasers, lights, bent mirrors and sound, where volumetric audiovisual objects are born out of a strict synchronisation of light beams and broken sound waves. Fasenuova will play a live show with visuals by Marta Verde. Finally, Italian art studio fuse* will bring their performance Dökk, a journey to the subconscious where dance and digital landscapes combined to play with our perception of space-time.
