(2017) - for Laptops, Smartphones or any devices that can stream a video with sound from the internet 

This is an adaptation of an audiovisual piece that changes with each performance. The original piece can be performed by anyone and experienced in many different ways. 

In its original form Layers comprises of six videos (each titled Layer 1 till 6 respectively), which I made and uploaded online. Playing layers 1 - 6 synchronously, and ideally on 6 different devices, creates an audio-visual piece of undefined length. You can start any of the videos at any moment, and they can align with each other at any moment. Each time you listen to and view the piece, it sounds and looks slightly different, creating an ever-changing yet static installation-esque work.

To experience the piece in its originally intended form use the following links while adhering to the instructions in the description box for the videos.
