Nondual is a live-performance visual software system by Studio A N F, delivered in 2020 for Dutch composer and producer Albert van Abbe. The system is a port of the studio's VOID software from Processing to OpenFrameworks, running shaders on the GPU at 4K 60fps, controllable via MIDI for live performance and with an unattended ambient mode. It has been performed in Kyiv among other venues.
In 2020 we were commissioned to create a live performance visual software machine for Dutch composer and producer Albert van Abbe. For this project, we ported our custom VOID software from Processing to OpenFrameworks to be able to run the shaders directly on the gpu at 4k 60fps resolution for a massive performance boost. The software can be used with a midi controller for live performances, but it also can be set to ambient mode where it performs without human inputs.
