Commissions
Since 2020, PetsAloud has been integrating their technology into performances around the world. In conjunction with Claripet Productions, the media company run by PetsAloud co-founder and CEO Nikki Pet, the Pet sisters have been working with multimedia performances, both in their personal productions and in collaboration through numerous commissions. These works have been performed globally at venues including Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center, the Detroit Arts Institute, the Schoenberg Center (Vienna, Austria), Indiana University, Oxford University, Yale University, and the National Flute Association’s 2024 Convention.
Examples of personal and commissioned projects using Live Video Accompaniment (LVA) to synchronize animation to music in live performance can be found here:
In addition to their work in emerging technologies like Live Video Accompaniment (LVA), founders Nikki and Kaitlin Pet have also worked extensively with more traditional fixed and live media commissions and performances. Below are some examples of commissioned work using these legacy forms of multimedia performance. A more extensive portfolio is available on Nikki’s personal website.
