Utilising their own custom software, 242.pilots expressively improvise rich, layered video works in real-time (both as a trio, and as soloists). The performance software created by Gilje, Lysakowski, and Ralske allows video to be controlled on-the-fly in a fluid and expressive manner. Improvising as a group, the three artists respond to and interact with each other’s images in a subtle and intuitive way. Images are layered, contrasted, merged, and transformed. The degree of interplay and unspoken communication between the artists is akin to the best free jazz ensembles. The end product is a complex visual conversation: a quasi-narrative exploring degrees of abstaction. Or: a mesmerising, immersive journey through diverse landscapes. Or: just raw retinal delight.
