Each VLX program includes a LIVEscore segment: an intimate, live response to selected moving-image works, created in the room and shaped by the charged immediacy of the screening environment. Rather than treating sound as a fixed accompaniment, LIVEscore opens a space where film, performance, audience, and venue can briefly become part of the same unstable signal.
