Guest Lecture : Strategic Deconstruction by NONFORM

In this lecture, NONFORM introduced their practice and shared strategies for using visual elements as part of performance. Exploring the blurred boundaries between visuals and lighting, the interaction of sight and sound, and the unknown frontier of AI as a live collaborator, the session covered various approaches for extending and strengthening visual world-building.  

This lecture was part of the programme series 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝙱𝙴𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙼𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙽𝙴𝚂—curated by Hothouse, supported by the National Arts Council’s Arts x Tech Lab initiative.
