On February 12th, at 8:00 PM, drummer Wout Arets will present the audiovisual performance The Loop, in collaboration with local artist Luís Francisco Oliveira.
During his residency at INSTITUTO, Wout recorded sounds at various locations across the city of Porto, transforming them live into an improvised composition using Sensory Percussion. These sounds shape a visual universe created by Luís Francisco Oliveira, based on 3D scans of Porto’s buildings, in a real-time feedback loop between sound and image.
The Loop reflects on the city’s urban development: construction is visible and audible everywhere—but will it be the people who endure the constant hammering and drilling who ultimately benefit from this development?

The performance is preceded, at 6:30 PM, by the opening of the exhibition Shopyard Summer School: Processes and Proposals, curated by Space Transcribers and INSTITUTO.
