Mikromedas is a 45-minute audiovisual concert based on black hole data. I worked with various scientific data and translated it into visual expressions. Initially, I observed the data to identify inspiring patterns. Then, through data transformation, rearrangement, deformation, conversion, sorting, and filtering, I created scenes depicting multiple black holes, gravity waves, white dwarfs, gravitational star destruction, particle trajectories, the Calabi-Yau manifold, ray shooting, AdS/CFT paper, cosmic web, and fluid dynamics. The audiovisual concert took place on April 10, 2019, at Concertgebouw Brugge.
