Summary: Volatile Live Visuals for the modular techno duo INSTANT on different occasions in Berlin.

The live modular techno duo Johannes Steyer and Matthias Millhoff, aka [*INSTANT*](http://instant.wtf) invited me to support them with live streamed visuals in their studio and during performances. I used only volatile clips recorded from a USB microscope / macro-camera into a custom *Max/Jitter* patch that loops and transmits them via *Spout* to my VJ Software for further processing. The clips were just macro recordings of the musicians equipment in action during the performances.

For a gig at the *Performance and Visual Artist Club Festival* at Burg Schnabel & Birgit und Bier in Berlin in 2016 I created and set up an installation based on stacking several CRT TV monitors into a pyramid and use that as the only light-source of the stage in a room filled with fog. The content shown consisted of impromptu visuals performed live.
