A performer wearing an uncanny disfiguring mask sits in front of a webcam on a tripod. They are making hand gestures to the tripod. A projection screen behind the performer is showing these hands, but heavily distorted and abstracted.

Two shots from last night's show at Constellation.

Film made by Adam Shead, Rin Peisert, and myself, with 7 musicians playing Shead's graphic score, and me doing live audio-reactive visuals on the film.
