FIELD were invited by Matt Pyke to collaborate on this artwork for the Matt Pyke & Friends: Super Computer Romantics show at La Gaite Lyrique, the new venue for digital art and new music in Paris.
Hundreds of generative creatures are coming together in this hall-sized installation, to celebrate life in a massive communion.
To an amazing polyrhythmic soundtrack, they dance through an evolution from primitive organisms to a posse of limbed little creatures, each with an individual body shape and its own particular dance moves.
“An audio-visual
synesthetic experience”

“working with FIELD brought this artwork to life”
