QUANTUM JOY IS VICTOR MORALES' NEW PERFORMANCE. In this show, Morales takes his audiences for the ultimate digital performance ride, where particle robots, computer vision and mapped dynamic projections are used to answer universal questions about purpose in art and life.
Morales’s experience as puppeteer and theatre performer adds a humorous and humanizing touch to his digital creations. The artist interacts with his digital environments, as they exist in the way they would with traditional puppets and sets. Hi-tech medium notwithstanding, the storytelling is at the core of the project.
Quantum Joy debuted on December 4th 2015 at Dixon Place NYC.
Morales's recent work Maria is currently on display in the GLITCH level of GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY.
