The Concept: Love Your Latency

“Love Your Latency” explores the intersection of technology and art, turning the often-perceived drawback of digital delay into a source of creative inspiration. This concept not only redefines the performance space but also encourages audiences to engage with the music in a new way, considering how temporal and spatial differences influence their experience.
