The audiovisual live performance piece “bios” imagines and explores the intrinsic aesthetics of the deep sea and the so-called “cyberspace” as the digital realm. The feeling of slowly floating in dark, aquatic depths is confronted with the fast-paced reality of digital bits and bytes shooting around in virtual space. The performative exploration of hybridity, fluidity, digitality and organic generative art results in a continuously reshaping appearance of abstract objects, forms and sounds.
Joel Schäfer’s performative and installative works focus on delivering intense audiovisual, immersive experiences, ranging from atmospheric and organic ambient to glitch and breakbeat inspired aesthetics. Generative systems and procedural generation techniques, thought of as algorithmic instruments, build the core of his artistic practice.
