“The Exquisite Corpse Will Drink The New Wine” is a live experimental audiovisual performance created by Chattanooga visual artist The Glorious Oob and Atlanta collective The Nebulous Orchestra. Inspired by the Surrealist “Exquisite Corpse” technique, each musician improvised their performance independently in a single take, with the resulting audio transformed into reactive psychedelic visuals that blur the line between music, film, and live media art.
