Sentient Ocean is an audiovisual live performance which was inspired by the intelligent ocean on the planet Solaris described in the novel by Stanisław Lem of the same title.
The essence of the project is to create a fluid, ever-changing audiovisual experience that allows the audience to immerse themselves in sound and image.
Both audio and video are generated in real time, existing between what is natural and what is synthesized.
Loosely referring to Lem's work, the project touches upon topics such as emergence, systems theory, identity and the relationship between machine and nature.
