meandering river
meandering river is an audiovisual installation by onformative developed in collaboration with kling klang klong. the project utilizes advanced technology to visualize the changing river landscapes over time. presented on multiple screens, the installation offers a bird’s-eye view of the river movements generated by a specially developed algorithm.
the ai-composed music enhances the visual representation, creating a profound, emotional experience. exhibited worldwide and awarded multiple times, “meandering river” connects art and technology in an innovative way to capture the dynamics and beauty of nature. visitors can immerse themselves in a harmonious fusion of image and sound, bringing the rhythmic and unpredictable nature of rivers to life.
