]]> The work you are describing is an artistic collaboration between the artist and an AI application called Midjourney to create fictional alien beings that resemble tardigrades. These beings are sentient and interact with their environment in a unique way due to their Umwelt, which is their subjective sensory environment. As they inhabit a human environment, their experience is strange and highlights the importance of considering an organism’s unique perspective and subjective experience when studying behavior and ecology.

Accompanying a film or a theatre performance, music traditionally plays a secondary role, usually following the visual development. In the opera, or today’s music videos, visual sequence follows the music. Aleksandra focuses on the most musical of instruments, reveals its hidden physical aspects through images – both for the musician and his audience.

The performance explores architecture of acoustics with three small video cameras put inside the instrument. They film from three different angles and transmit the image first to a computer where the video becomes monochrome with high contrast, and then to a screen in front of the musician. It allows him to observe and control the images during his improvisation, creating a graphic drawing that changes under the influence of music. Sometimes it resembles a moonscape, a wide field, a city from afar, or outlines of strange people or animals.

Choice of camera angles and manipulations of light, colour and contrast of images with a mixer board creates a film. And the musician translates musical harmony and rhythm into image, coordinating his movements with the visualization. Thus, the artist and the musician work in one synchronized effort.
