The audience gathered around Paola Torres Núñez del Prado, who, in her sound performance, experiments with textile interfaces and sound. She has been developing what she calls Sonified Textile Controllers (Textile Sensor-Based Tangible Interfaces) for the past ten years. The three fibre-based controllers all reference the cultures of her country of origin, Peru. Take a look at her exposition here: The Sonified Textiles within the Text(il)ura Performance (published March 14, 2022 in VIS #6).

Timo Menke and Vilda Kvist closed the evening with a performance lecture of their exposition Corona Influentia and the Darker Matter. In the darkened machine hall, a magical shadow play unfolded, taking the audience into the cave of Plato, Batman and the bats. See the exposition here: Corona Influentia and the Darker Matter (published 19 October 2021 in VIS #6).
