Singularity is live visual synthesis created to be performed on big venues like auditoriums, urban spaces or fulldomes. It is inspired by the concepts of gravitational singularity, creating a synesthetic experience that synchronously communicates images with sound creating an immersive environment that evokes outer space and the sounds of the cosmos.


CONCEPT:

The gravitational singularity is an area of complex space that is not yet fully understood by human being. There are some situations that bring us closer to how the singularity could looks like. Black holes and the description of the origin of the universe are examples of the singularity, however it’s a complex concept and there arise many questions that leads us to think about our existence in relation to the origin of everything and consequently in the end of the universe.

Big Crunch theory proposes that all that expanding matter that reaches the ends is being affected by the very gravity of the universe.
Upon reaching the limit of its expansion, gravity will cause all the contraction of all the matter of the universe to the point where everything began to re-form that singularity, like a Big Bang in reverse.

The piece seeks to recreate this singularity, an artistic version of the fabric of space-time, the beginning-end and the behavior of the particles during its collapse-destruction-creation and cosmic reversion.
