The Meta-Orchestra is a flexible group of performers using electronically extended musical and visual instruments, exploring the relevance of new technologies in extending our perception of unusual places. As a platform for practical research and performance, the M.O. brings together the different working strategies of artists and technologists in a non-hierarchical, non-academic structure.
I organised, directed and made the post-production of the two most recent M.O. workshops, Maastricht in 2004 and Genk in 2005. My interest has been incorporating the characteristics of specific spaces; score systems for the group within the collaborative non-hierarchical structure; incorporating a wireless network to enable portable video sound and cameras.
