Audio-Visual Performance · 2023

Diar

"Diar" was an interactive audiovisual installation and performance project that took place in a unique historical setting - the ancient fire temple of Deir Gachin Caravanserai in Iran, a structure dating back approximately 1,800 years. This historic caravanserai provided a profound architectural backdrop for the contemporary digital art experience.

This interactive installation featured a live electronic music performance by Mobin Mirkamal, powered by Ableton, alongside a real-time visual system built in TouchDesigner. The visuals dynamically transformed based on incoming audio and live audience motion captured via Kinect. Projected across the ancient brick arches of the fire temple, the installation created a striking dialogue between historical architecture and contemporary digital art, merging interaction, music, and visuals into a cohesive immersive experience.
