2024 New Music Festival: Mac Waters

An audiovisual installation and performance project that mutates the highly personalized content-sharing algorithm on TikTok into a motion-activated synthesizer.

Friday, April 19, 2024
2:00pm – 3:00pm
North Fairbanks Hall
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Arts, Performances

An audiovisual installation and performance project that mutates the highly personalized content-sharing algorithm on TikTok into a motion-activated synthesizer.

The project investigates embodiments of digitally-transmitted auditory and visual memetics, particularly in the wake of a 2021 study that exposed a prevalence of movement disorders among young teenagers—a mass sociogenic illness of "TikTok tics." Through the improvisatory distortion of a user's TikTok "For You Page" in real time, TikTokBox is a duet between a user and their feed, the individual and the collective, the conscious and the subconscious.
 
The performance will be followed by an informal discussion and Q&A.
