Each performance by the Transistors of Mercy is an emergent phenomena. It exists only as a temporary network of integrated sound-producing elements - circuits, capacitors, oscillators, filters and human intentions. Electrical current is sent through a system of modified analogue hardware collected from the 1970s onward to produce extended but unrepeatable musical events. While it exists, the system cannot be separated from the operators who manipulate and use it.

Each TOM performance becomes an improvised object that exists through being heard. It is an object without a centre and constituted from a multiplicity of listening perspectives. As such a TOM event is only partially and unsuccessfully captured through conventional video technology, which can only mirror single standpoints and never occupy the view from nowhere.

For this specially commissioned project, Pixelflowers will synthesise a new multiplicity of real and imagined perspectives into a standpoint which sees from no particular point at all and therefore from everywhere. Signals are processed in a positive feedback loop which transforms image material into a compound-vision that cannot be reduced to its individual parts.
