Bioluminescence is a visual music ballet of abstract biomorphic forms. The forms glow in the darkness inspired by the phenomenon of bioluminescence, a natural emission of light by living organisms. The illusion of movement is created by thousands of images drawn frame-by-frame. Sequencing and arranging the forms gives them life and vitality as if they were sentient beings reacting and synchronizing to sound.
