FWDrift [remix]

FWDrift [remix], audio-video performance, 2005-2010
With Julie Andreyev

"FWDrift [remix]" is a multi-media performance using audio and video recordings generated by a custom-equipped, data-gathering car driven through the city. In preparation for the performance, video and sound of the city, and sound within the private/social space of the car – the engine sounds, conversations, the choice of music played on the car’s stereo – are recorded. Cameras and interactive technologies provide recorded video imagery of the city manipulated by the interaction of the car and driver. These video and audio records are the playlist used to generate a live video panorama and a musical soundscape during a "FWDrift [remix]" performance.
