New media art (Live Visuals, AV Live Performance, Music Visualization).

The artwork "Hairscape" is performed live. In this video (was recorded in real time, by Obs software), i play live electronic sounds and live visuals, at the same time. The live visuals depict my tiny details of my skin and hair. These details perceived as weird & surreal landscapes. The used interactive filters are searching for analyzing the edges and the structure of these "landscapes". The "Alienscapes+" is an expansion of the ongoing work "Alienscapes & Paintscapes" started in 2016: https://vimeo.com/showcase/5073598 & https://vimeo.com/showcase/4536324. It's an artistic research concerning nature's fractals and fractal expressionism, as the new abstract painting. The "Hairscapes" project uses new media art and various devices for achieving its goals. My attempt was to make a music visualisation video, based on live footage that was streamed by multimedia devices, such as a microscope camera. In this video, the movement of the microscope's digital camera follows up my live sound play. Basically,I am looking for an imagery could be made from scratch.
