Robert Lippok & Lucas Gutierrez — AVB2BVA

AVB2BVA is an audiovisual back-to-back performance that reshapes the music and real-time visuals of Robert Lippok and Lucas Gutierrez.

Since their first collaboration, Applied Autonomy in 2018, Lippok and Gutierrez have focused on the relationship between music and visual art. For this year's edition of MUTEK.JP, they elevate this approach by blurring the boundaries of authorship, expanding the B2B DJ format to an audiovisual level. Performing together in a single set, they alternate tracks while performing simultaneously, creating a dynamically charged atmosphere and an intense experience. Exploring the fluidity of time through shifting rhythms and evolving visual sequences, their performance evokes a sense of temporal disorientation, leaving space for improvisation and unpredictable changes.

Through their collaborative practice, they merge their distinct artistic languages into a cohesive narrative, forging new pathways in contemporary art.
