Circle/دایره is a collaborative project between Roxana Vilk/Vilk Collective and Squidsoup exploring themes of inclusion, immersive experiences and shared spaces. This prototype will expand the distinct AudioWAVE technology, a system of networked light and sound devices into a unique spatialised tool for live performance. Focusing on distributed rhythmic composition, live voice spatialisation and the development of a new intuitive interface the collaboration will develop and test a new approach to performance. This project considers themes around liveness, togetherness, trust and empathy through an iterative, playful approach with an aim to unlock new experiences for audiences in the co-creation and composition of new and exciting works. 

Together they are exploring creating a new user interface that Roxana can wear, to live compose with sound and light in real time. The ambition is that after experimenting with this prototype tech it can be offered to creatives and performers from a range of disciplines to explore. Imagine playing an instrument where each note is played at a different point in space or painting live through space with light. There is no other technology out there to create live spatialised performance in this way.
