Arcade Mirages is a multimedia work for violin, flute, motion sensor, choreography, and computer. In it, two performers interact physically and musically. One of them, the flutist, wears a motion sensor on her instrument, which allows her to cue computer-generated sounds. The work explores concepts of power, submission, and miscommunication.
