Hologram is a live performance by Kyle Driggs and Jay Gilligan that combines juggling, light, and sound to create evolving visual phenomena. Choreographed objects move through precisely designed lighting, producing images that seem to hover, dissolve, and transform. The result evokes the qualities of holograms, using only real objects in motion. Rather than showcasing technical skill, Hologram uses juggling as a system for generating optical illusions. Inspired by James Turrell's light works and Brian Eno's idea of generative music, the performance creates visual patterns that continuously evolve, revealing unexpected images over time. The audience does not simply watch Hologram, their perception becomes part of the work. As shifting patterns emerge and disappear, viewers become aware of how the mind constructs what it sees. The performance offers the rare experience of questioning the reliability of your own vision while witnessing something that is entirely real. The audience will experience the limits and possibilities of their own perception.
