HYPERREAL
An immersive audio-visual performance of experimental electronic music and generative audio-reactive visuals, narrating the journey of "Intelligence" as it manifests in the digital realm.
Turning the question of our times on its head "Can A.I be conscious?" 'HYPERREAL' immerses you in the worlds and processes that underlie digital sentience: matter, circuitry, code, bits, data, and beyond, into the meta-processes of learning, building, thinking. Moving through many layers of abstraction, the experience is a philosophical & technical inquiry embodied in a visceral emotional experience.
"One of the best audio tech art coming out of India!" EyeMyth Media Arts Festival 2025.
"A breakneck sensory odyssey. An incredible feat." Ben Joseph Andrews, Immersive Artist/Director.

Presented by: Āyāhi
Āyāhi is an experiential art atelier that combines light, sound, movement, and data into integral multi-sensorial experiences. From generative digital art and interactive installations, to immersive audiovisual productions, their practice seeks to transcend and redefine the artistic experience.
Using technology-based new media and processes, their works often explore conceptual and abstract perspectives, themes and concepts; narratives that don’t immediately find home in conventional and traditional art-forms.
The founders, Mrityunjay and Vinay, are creative professionals from two diverse fields — music/creative art, and technology/digital art, respectively. Their practices converge at Āyāhi, resulting in bespoke audio-visual productions.
