Cardin Chung believes technology should de-center itself — reawakening tactility and self-awareness rather than overshadowing the body. Michael Naffier believes music and dance are inseparable, each informing the other in ways that go deeper than spectacle. In Pandora’s Box, those two philosophies collide. Cardin moves, Michael’s soundscape answers, and what unfolds between them is something entirely alive.

Don’t miss it at Flux Festival at Blum Gallery in Los Angeles on Saturday, April 25.

All-day tickets sold out. Evening only tickets available at the link in bio. See the full lineup and schedule at flux.net.

Atlas.

A creative community built to unite artists across disciplines through a shared language called Mapping.

What Michael is building goes beyond art, it’s about creating deeper collaboration, intentional creation, and a new way for artists to understand each other.

Hear more of what Michael sees for the new generation of artists at our showcase! Link in bio!

Meet Michael, one of our Passioneers.

An artist and visionary redefining what it means to create intentional art.

What started as a personal passion is now becoming a way to connect artists across disciplines and build community through shared expression.

Come see his vision at our upcoming showcase! Click link in bio!

from the archives: Sound & Color (2023)

a show that asked one simple question: what if the music, movement, and lighting all said the same thing?

for this show I taught dancers how to listen to music from the perspective of a producer, created some dope music with @cardincn and @daniel.mangiaracino, and then mapped it all to LED lights to create a live reactive audio-visual experience

thanks @richa.krishna for capturing this moment 🎥

Made some music to capture the wonder of the void… how’d I do?

As a dancer and music maker, I’m always researching how to deepen the connection between movement and music.

With this exercise, I’m finding ways to map musical shapes to movement—drawing on Animation concepts like the Dime Start and Dime Stop to embody how sound is shaped through its articulation/envelope.

Thinking about how both sounds and movements can be broken up into [beginning, middle, end] or [attack, decay/sustain, release] and embodying the qualities of those parts.

Super grateful for @pieterperformancespace for providing open space to lab!

Exploring the world and music through the lens of shape🔎
