A live AV performance by 𝔥𝔢𝔵𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔦𝔰𝔪𝔬𝔰[MX/GER] and Isabella Salas [MX/CAN], Transfiguration explores the neural network as an alchemical machine, treating Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) as a homunculus—a synthetic entity capable of morphing sound design aesthetics while preserving cadence and structure.

Rooted in 𝔥𝔢𝔵𝔬𝔯𝔠𝔦𝔰𝔪𝔬𝔰’s full-length album Transfiguration, the performance applies AI-driven raw audio synthesis to distill, dissolve, and reconfigure sonic textures.
The GAN acts as a transfigurative agent, distilling one aesthetic into another, allowing AI to function as a conduit for mutation and recontextualization.

Salas extends this process visually, modeling her datasets in a transmedia layer that fractures and reconstructs audiovisual memory, dissolving the boundary between input and reinterpretation.
