LUX_KILL - Σουζάνα Φιαλάς

LUX_KILL is a brutalist choreographic intervention located in the underbelly of the Rialto Theatre. The installation forces a jarring architectural transition, guiding visitors off the red velvet comfort of traditional theatrical viewing, and down into a cold, understage corridor. 

Deconstructing an Algorithmic Body across three raw, dismantled monitors, the artwork is inherently reactive. As visitors cross the threshold, their physical mass overloads the local network, dynamically triggering real-time visual distortions and frame-rate collapses on the screens. The viewer is treated not as a passive observer, but as a physical contaminant actively corrupting the digital choreography.
