The story behind "Elizabete: Hat, Fruit or Flute?"

In 2017, Giovanni Di Rosa (a student from my drawing class at the University of Salerno) invited me to join him for some live drawing sessions at the Godot Art Bistrot in Avellino, Italy. I attended a total of four concerts and drew while artists like Mary Ocher, Campos Band, Raoul Vignal and Elizabete Balčus performed on stage. Elizabete, a psychedelic musician and sound artist from Latvia, uses fruits and vegetables in her compositions, creating unique, pumping, alive, and extraterrestrial sounds.

I captured the experience of live listening to Elizabete in a 360º drawing structure, which can be converted into a virtual environment. Furthermore, the resulting artwork was turned into a 360º video available on YouTube, which combines my artwork and Elizabete’s music, and illustrates the mix of personal impressions and technical precision.
