Dive into a mesmerizing realm where sound flows like water, inviting you beneath the surface. Drowning is a fulldome audiovisual performance that envelops you in sensations of submersion, isolation, and ecstasy. Experience 360° visuals that mirror the ceaseless movement of sound waves, as you plunge from the surface into the depths, where deep bass reverberates and high frequencies shimmer like phosphorescence. Feel the profound interplay of depth, physics, and the transformative power of sound resonating through your entire being.

This performance takes the audience on a journey of infinite motion, exploring concepts of cymatics and the physicality of sound. It creates an audible wave of pressure, allowing each member of the audience to physically experience its properties.

Drowning evokes the isolation, terror, and ecstasy one might feel if left alone in the middle of the ocean, where sound becomes the ocean itself—sonic vibrations and visible digital waves at the listener’s fingertips.

The narrative, rooted in the feeling of drowning, unfolds through variations of depth, with truly immersive 360° audiovisual content transforming your perception of the space’s architecture.

Developed during the Extending Reality | CoExistence: Art, Science & Technology residency at the Eugenides Foundation Planetarium in Athens in 2019, this project was a collaboration with the Athens Digital Arts Festival and digital artist Mathieu Le Sound (MAOTIK), based on a concept by Pandelis Diamantides.
