Pauric Freeman is an Irish artist whose practice explores sound, technology, and perceptual experience through audiovisual performance and installation. Focusing on the intricate relationships between sound and image, he programs visual systems that experiment with new forms of audiovisual expression, recontextualizing how audiences experience sound in both live and installation contexts. By merging art and technology, his work offers fresh perspectives in audiovisual composition. Recognized for its unique approach to visualizing sound, Pauric’s work has been exhibited and performed in a wide range of venues and festivals across Ireland as well as in Europe, North America, and Australia. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, and his work continues to investigate how technology, sound, and moving images can engage with new experiences in contemporary media art.Structures is an audiovisual performance that explores the interplay between sound and image. Composed for modular synthesizer, drum machine, and a custom-built generative system, the work uses data from the synthesizers as material to understand the music composition. Drawing on influences from early computer graphics and generative art, the performance maps information like pitch, rhythm, and amplitude, to parameters within the visual composition. Each track examines a different approach to this mapping, exploring multiple structures between sound and image.
