METAL_UPA, SIIIO

From primordial chaos, a cosmic egg gestates. Metal liquefies into slime, entities and nature gradually emerge governed by their own physics, spawning through lithium-charged circuits until a strange settling into the hum of computer blue, a slow growing current embedded in screens and bodies, a reflection on processing today's world.

Live lunar cycles, solar winds, and Schumann resonance data are pulled into the visuals, the performance calibrating to planetary signals through open data connections.

LAPTOPBACK is an audiovisual duo formed by METAL_UPA and SIIIO, London-based Singaporean artists working across interactive visuals and live electronic sound. Their practice explores post-humanist narratives and the interconnectedness of technology, drawing on open data such as solar winds and planetary movement to perform real-time visuals. This is performed alongside a Southeast Asian exploration of sound rooted in Electro, Hyperpop and Bass while incorporating Singaporean textures.
