Cameron Wisch performs avant rock music on an acoustic drum kit along with a laptop as Eric Drasin beams projections onto the audience and stage. A camera captures the movement of the audience and is analyzed by a laptop to form a ‘feedback loop’ of light, echoing and enhancing the energy of the room.
