Collaborating with Huseyin Kuru to create audiovisual art

Istanbul-based audiovisual artist Huseyin Kuru knows how to translate physical spaces and aesthetics into powerful art. As part of the Motus Lumina collective, Huseyin has put together unique installations, placing an emphasis on crafting experiences by integrating sound and data for an interactive performance. Since 2005, Huseyin has lent his musical and visual skills to performances with more than 600 DJs and bands.

Lori Hepner and Kendra Ross light-painting women's experiences

Intersection*ology, a collaboration between visual artist Lori Hepner (@lhepner) and musician Kendra Ross, lies at the “intersection between art, gender and technology”. With soundscapes, projected imagery, and dance, the performance evokes women’s experiences across time and place, from slave dungeons centuries ago in West Africa to the Women’s March on Washington in January. Vuo played a part in this intersectional-feminist piece, transforming light from LEDs worn by the performers into imagery projected in real time onstage.

A virtual forest installation from Gwenyth Dobie and William Mackwood

Rallentando is an interactive installation that uses Vuo to invoke a multi-sensory virtual forest. Using a combination of images, sounds, and interactive performance, “the audience experiences a gradual slackening of tempo, leaving behind the distractions of contemporary urban life.”

Rallentando was created by Gwenyth Dobie, with William Mackwood (@wmackwood) leading the technical integration. Gwenyth and William, co-artistic directors of Out of the Box Productions, recently installed Rallentando at Hub14 in Toronto.

Gravity-defying theater by Teo Dumski

The play “The Floor: Shopping Rolls Camouflaged” is a foray into a surreal world of gravity-defying motion. By turns funny, poignant, and exuberant, the performance blends the human with the technological. Vuo plays a major role in this performance written and directed by Teo Dumski.
