This time, he presents an audiovisual concert entitled A Talk with Machines, offering an immersive, multi-layered experience at the intersection of sound and image. The artist’s sounds and music do not merely accompany the video as a backdrop, but enter into a direct dialogue with it – rhythm, texture and atmosphere respond to what is happening on screen and vice versa, creating a unified, living organism. This conceptual video offers a glimpse into a computer-generated science-fiction world, constructed from cold geometries, digital artefacts and disintegrating images, in which its elements – machines, systems and artificial structures – communicate with one another in their own (alien to us?) language. Through this communication, questions arise about the boundary between technology and consciousness, command and response, and the machine that executes and the machine that (perhaps) thinks.

Rok Oletič, known by his stage name Kizuma, uses his musical projects to explore the interweaving of broken rhythms, experimental digital sound textures and immersive ambient landscapes. He brings the same spirit of exploration to visual art, combining 3D modelling, graphic collage and digital degradation techniques.
