The intermedia performance/lecture titled The point is... draws inspiration from Wassily Kandinsky's book Point and Line to Plane, where the pioneer of abstract art explores the objective classification of graphic elements. Despite Kandinsky's attempt at objectivity, the presented views are inherently subjective and expressive in themselves. In a playful manner, The point is... parallels this quasi-scientific endeavor within an intermedia context. Visual points intersect with musical gestures and verbal expressions, gradually unveiling the myriad dimensions of an intermedia point
