OPTIKAL INK CITY

Real-time video mixing using clips in various formats, including 3GP files, webcam recordings, professional video, and photography.

The set is characterized by high contrast and acid colors, playing off urban themes, architecture, and abstract narratives inspired by stencil design, geometry, and 8-bit culture. The communicative intent is to intervene in unconventional spaces—such as galleries, neighborhoods, public squares, and streets—in order to promote both access to and ownership of this kind of visual art.

The piece demonstrates how everyday visual content can be transformed into a compelling narrative using readily available tools. Capturing raw, unscripted moments from a mobile perspective, it weaves spontaneous daily scenes into a vibrant visual tapestry synced to dance music. Combining .mp3 soundscapes with low-res .3gp aesthetics, the performance delivers an engaging live video art experience.
