Simulation in Blue invites visitors into a futuristic performance that reimagines a new genre of music: Cinderella jazz. The exhibition features mutating bands with rainbow-glowing hues and glittering forms, driven by the unhinged personalities of possessed AI musicians who attempt to maintain rhythm but ultimately descend into chaos. This descent is reminiscent of solo jazz acts and pushes the sound and animations into a wild reverie. Artist Geoffrey Lillemon draws on a personal nostalgia for 1980s holography, ballroom extravagance, and underground attitude, breathing new life into these elements through the unexpected combination of contemporary image-processing tools. The accompanying music by Richard Burki is designed to echo the unsettling soundtracks found in David Lynch's films, particularly those composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Geoffrey Lillemon, born in 1981 in Ft Worth, Texas, is an Amsterdam-based artist known for constantly defining new aesthetics and visionary ideas with a strong, future-minded approach. His profoundly personal use of CGI and media art results in unexpected expressions and commentary on the human condition. Lillemon's work, which blurs the lines between entertainment, media appetites, and art through collaborations with pop stars, commercial clients, museums, galleries, and theatres, has been acquired by the Stedelijk Museum and exhibited internationally, positioning him uniquely to bring digital art to global stages.
