An audiovisual installation and performance project that mutates the highly personalized content-sharing algorithm on TikTok into a motion-activated synthesizer.
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.
The 2024 New Music Festival, April 19-20. More info here.
Events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
