In this episode, I chat with Vijay Thillaimuthu also known as Xenosine, a Tamil-Australian audio-visual and laser artist whose work is rooted in curiosity, feedback systems, and exploration of electromagnetic phenomena. We dig into the process behind his latest and most ambitious work, Oblation, a massive audio-visual piece that took five years to realise. Vijay shares how his creative practice is guided by experimentation, constantly chasing how one element affects another – whether through voltage, sound, or light. But we also talk about the hidden toll of large-scale projects: the emotional weight, the unseen labour, and the fine line between deep focus and burnout. It’s a conversation about staying curious, navigating timelines, and finding meaning in the act of making.
