The project explores the emerging urban environments through a staged multimodal convergence of sound and moving image. Infusing spatial perception and immersion, the project creates a premise for in-depth listening to hybrid urban spaces for observing their cancerous growth in the contemporary context of migration, placeless-ness, and exile. The outcome of the project is varied, from site-specific installation to live performances.
