HIV

Immersive audiovisual (remix of media for dance performance & scientific research)  

   

sample excerpt…

A new work in which I rhythmically and visually remix an 2005 dance-performance video collaboration (with Matthew DeGumbia) exploring HIV serodiversity, together with time-lapse fluorescence microscopy (showing MDMs sequentially engulfing HIV-1-infected Jurkat T cells in Baxter et al., 2014 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chom.2014.1…).

Sound design and video are rhythmically reprocessed to link kinesthetic touch (human gesture, feather, skin) with microscopic touch (cellular engulfment, immunological recognition). The piece operates across macro and micro scales of intimacy and defense, inviting reflection on the porous, oscillating boundaries between self and other, health and illness, visibility and invisibility. Drawing on somesthetics, seropolitics, and microscopy, this remix bridges affective movement languages with cellular choreography, forming an audiovisual meditation on vulnerability, memory, and intercellular entanglements.
