What is Visikord?

Visikord is a dance-directed instrument for fantasy music play. It’s the world’s first live dance processing machine — it blends the dancer and the electronic graphics that react to his or her movements into a spectacular real-time performance.

Express and blast out your creative energy with it in three easy steps:

  1. Feel the music pumping through your body
  2. Step in front of Visikord’s invisible keyboard
  3. Hit the air to the beat and watch laser beams and giant orbs of light and all sorts of other things shoot out of your hands in the rhythm of the music and flood the room with everyone in it!

For best results, stay on the beat and pretend you’re not paying attention to phantasmagoric images of yourself.

phantasmagoria, n.:

  1. a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.
  2. a changing scene made up of many elements.
  3. an optical illusion produced by a magic lantern or the like in which figures increase or diminish in size, pass into each other, dissolve, etc.


Live Art

These images were taken from live Visikord sessions, as still shots of videos recording dancer performance on a big screen. Each is a unique combination of the dancer and the elements at the moment.

Using it for the first time

Recording of Katie Funk seeing Visikord for the first time and using it to play some house music with light:

Visikord requires no musical experience, just some sense of rhythm and the idea to have fun with your own image shown in infinite ways.
