EVENT: WAVES OF KNOWING
DATE: 2025
For Waves of Knowing, a daylong program of performances and activations curated by the Oakland-based artist collective SMARTBOMB, I performed a live-coded visual set using Hydra video synthesis, p5.js, and Blender. The visuals responded in real time to the music, blending generative forms and layered motion to create an immersive, evolving atmosphere.
The event brought together over 20 Bay Area artists across performance, film, poetry, and sound to explore the theme of collective creation and intuitive knowing, inspired by The Unknown (a 1949 San Francisco Art Institute gathering).
