“Meandering River is an audiovisual art installation comprising real-time visuals and music composed by an AI through machine learning. The piece reinterprets the shifting behavior of rivers in the landscape from a bird’s-eye view. Minor changes of riverbeds are invisible to the bare eye as they gradually happen over time. Spanning over multiple screens, Meandering River visualizes these altering landscapes and makes the changes visible. By investigating scientific research that examines the natural phenomenon of meandering rivers, we developed different algorithms to authentically simulate their unpredictable movements and reinterpret their organic structures, rhythmic fluctuations and visual materiality. The accompanying soundscape was developed with the help of an AI to complement the visuals’ mesmerizing movements. Values outputted directly from the river simulation were analyzed and interpreted in real time to influence the musical parameters and reflect the work’s performative nature.”
