Seni Tiga #07: As We Go Along
The performance is a journey to seek answers within the cloudiness of everyday life by exploring the virtues of water.
The dance and sound artists interact with typography and graphic textures created prior to the show to create visuals that are animated at real-time, triggered using sensors that pick up different stimuli. The visuals are projected on surfaces with different transparency and weight.
In November 2019, As We Go Along went outdoor for a public performance in the city centre for Urbanscapes, Malaysia’s longest running creative arts festival.

Max Jala
projection artist
Max Jala is a visual artist and programmer who specialises in creating generative digital art pieces. Formerly a mobile app developer, he now dedicates himself to making art through code. Max’s work is experimental in practice, relying on crafting complex algorithmic code patterns which are then exposed, through sensors, to the spontaneous influence of the outside world (flickerings of light, sound, motion). His code is, in effect, alive -- it responds to external stimuli in real time, creating a multi-dimensional space through which traditional boundaries of digital and analog are challenged.
