ONTIME is a New Media Arts performance that merges performance, artistic installation, visual experimentation, sound design, physical computing, lighting control, and interaction. The main concept came after intense artistic research and filosophical research about filosofical concepts of time and Heidegger theory. The project explores the concept of Time through three approaches:

Linear Time : Traditional, unidirectional progression.

Relative Time Time : Dependent on events and moments, aligned with scientific principles.

Non Linear Time : Inspired by Heidegger, experienced holistically rather than as discrete moments.

ONTIME integrates interactive elements, with sound produced in Ableton Live and controlled by Plug Data software, a custom synthesizer using DaisySeed, lighting managed through MAX SP, QLC+, Leapmotion, and visuals created with Touchdesigner and Madmapper. The performance also features choreographed interactions, adding a theatrical aspect. We built the system components ourselves, enabling precise control over both physical and digital materials. The performance is modular and dinamic allowing us to move it and perform it in diferent configurations and diferent places depending on the condicions and space that we have.

For this particular project I built my own Synthesizer with Daisy Seed.
