Lose Yourself In Deja Vu in this Audio-Visual Performance

"Fragments" is an abstract dive into the human mind.

This article was originally published on May 30, 2014 but we think it still rocks!

RFID—a UK-based collective of artists specializing in immersive audiovisual productions, made up of William Young, Benjamin Gannaway and Jake Williams—took over the 60-foot-tall Satosphere dome at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) to present Fragments, a live audiovisual performance made specifically for the 360° environment.

Immersed inside an impressive A/V journey that is at once destabilizing and explosive, the audience can explore an experimental universe questioning the relationship between man and memory. The abstract visualizations, inspired by a series of audio interviews, gives life to a cerebral and non-linear narrative piece where the few figurative elements present are barely recognizable. Watching the performance is like trying to recall a dream just after waking—or attempting to illustrate the sensation of deja vu. The viewers bear witness to the structuring/restructuring of a piece generated by the dynamic clash between virtual, geometrical, and dynamic visual elements.

The dream-like dome offers attendees the chance to step inside an abstract representation of the human mindSee some photos of Fragments in action below, as well as video on the project:
