ARTISTIC COLLABORATIONS

NEBULAH (DK)

NEBULAH’s collaboration with uberørt explores the intersection of Nordic indie rock and performative technology through a new Visual Album. Each song becomes an immersive world, where generative visuals - sprouting trees, auroras, shifting weather - respond in real time to the music’s dynamics and lyrical themes. The band performs within a scenographic landscape of layered projections and interactive light, blurring the boundary between sound, stage, and image. Developed with the backing of UN Live’s Nature as a Co-Writer project, the project invites nature into the creative process. Concerts, installations, and digital releases form a unified audiovisual journey where emotion, ecology, and extended reality merge into a transformative live experience.
NEBULAH is Janne Hagen Therkildsen, Hannah Busk Larsen, Elisabeth Panduro Holst,  Mads Menzer, Jonathan Larsen and Mathias Fabricius.

SITREKIN (DK)

In the Sitrekin project, the boundaries between music and visual technology are explored in close collaboration with lead singer Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg (formerly of Blue Foundation). By using depth tracking and real-time reactions to the dynamics of the song and the singer’s movements, a powerful visual language emerges — featuring explosive particles, aurora-like smoke effects, and graphic layers that play on a feminine duality between calm and danger. Sitrekin is among the first Danish artists to embrace Dolby Atmos, and the project—created in collaboration with uberørt—illustrates a visionary path for integrating soundscapes with digital visuals in new spatial formats.
Sitrekin is Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg.

GLAS (DK)

Glas is a poetic and interactive scenography where the materiality of nature - glass, ice, water, oil, and stardust—merges with the band’s musical universe. The project unfolds through real-time tracking, fluid dynamics, and audiovisual effects that respond to the vocalist’s voice and movements. By creating a dismantlable, tour-friendly setup with specially  developed projection mapping, Glas transforms the concert space into a dreamlike world of sensory reflections and textures, drawing the audience
into narratives about the cyclical development of both humanity and the planet. Glas is Louise Foo and Lisbet Fritze Trentemøller.

SØSTR (DK)

SØSTR is a 360-degree audio/visual immersive experience that combines spatial sound with nature-inspired visuals. Developed during a residency at VEGA Lab for the band SØSTR’s EP release, the project envelops audiences in a circular sound field, with eight or more speakers placed around listeners. Moving visual layers sync with how the sound travels through the space, supporting the songs’ lyrical universe with metaphorical, organic elements. This work represents a new level of sensory interaction in Danish live performance.
SØSTR is Sharin Foo and Louise Foo.

THE BLACK QUEEN (US)

The Black Queen is a groundbreaking interactive “computer character” in live theater that uses AI-like algorithms (boids and finite state machines) and stage tracking. This setup grants the actor full control through intuitive projection mapping—without needing an external visuals crew.
The result is a dynamic, animated scenography where visual effects react instantly to movements and positions, creating an entirely new form of performative dialogue between mezzo soprano and actor Stephanie Beattie and the technology. Commissioned by director Juraj Kojs
