Dimensions: Chaosflöte features compositions of and improvisations with the chaosflöte. Works in both solo and duo formats within this program attempt to make audible - and visible - an abstraction of conflicts, questions, and dialogues of the self (denoted by circles within the reactive visuals of the performance). Continuous transformations, reappearances, and multiplicities of the circles symbolize the self and its inescapable yet fluid nature.

The chaosflöte combines wireless sensor technology, digital sound processing, and visual programming with the traditional Boehm flute. In facilitating interdisciplinary performances, the Chaosflöte challenges the artist to rethink traditional understandings of performance, composition, and improvisation.
