Botborg began from experiments into feedback, both sonic and visual. It was found that the two could be combined, in an interactive way, with fascinating results. As the feedback system grew more complex and included more elements (audio mixer, visual mixer, laptop, camera, monitors, etc.), gradually a system was created when sound and light are forced into a self-perpetuating interaction unique to the space in which they occur. Rather than giving a ‘musical performance’ or a ‘filmic presentation’, Botborg ‘activates a space’ by expanding the already complex audio/visual feedback system with the unique features of every venue. Although this system is highly manipulable, it is equally unpredictable and uncontrollable, allowing Botborg to look and sound vastly different on every occasion.
