A Dynamic Exploration
of Movement, Sound,
and Digital Art
The Flow Performance is an ongoing artistic exploration of the interaction between the human body, sound, and digital visual expression. It is a project that evolves through different iterations, each exploring new ways of creating immersive, interactive experiences.
At its core, The Flow Performance is an open-ended artistic framework, allowing for different manifestations depending on the setting, collaborators, and available technology. It merges motion, improvisation, and digital art, creating an ever-changing dialogue between performers, audience, and environment.
The Concept
Inspired by flow theory (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi),
the project seeks to facilitate deep engagement and presence, both for performers and audiences.
By removing barriers between the artist and observer, and by allowing movement, sound, and technology to interact in real-time, The Flow Performance creates a space where creativity unfolds organically.
Each iteration of the project adapts to its environment, making it a living, evolving piece of art rather than a fixed performance.
Dance Paintings – An Iteration of The Flow Performance
One such iteration is The Flow Performance: Dance Paintings, an interactive audiovisual installation currently in development.
In this version, digital paintings continuously evolve based on audience movement, captured through motion-tracking technology. The result is a real-time dialogue between body and image, where dance, sound, and visual expression merge into an immersive flow experience.
Other iterations of The Flow Performance have explored similar themes through live performances, installations, and interdisciplinary collaborations. Future versions will continue to push the boundaries of interactive and performative art.
The Artist
Jørgen Wassvik is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, and technician based in Trondheim. With extensive experience as a bassist and a formal background in the visual arts, his work is characterised by technical understanding combined with an open and exploratory attitude.
At the intersection of sound, light, space, and the body, he works both with collaborative and cross-disciplinary productions, as well as more solitary explorations and meditative processes. Through painting, installation, musical performance, and various forms of presentation, he investigates different encounters, interactions, and threshold states – between people, expressions, and materials.
A maker of noise and a seeker of nuance, Wassvik explores how sensory experience can connect and expand inner and outer worlds.
