WIDT = an audiovisual collaboration of two sisters, Antonina Nowacka (voice/processing) and Bogumila Piotrowska (live visuals). An unique phenomenon oscillating between concert, performance, installation and video art. WIDT had released two audiovisual albums: POINT#3 VHS (2015, Pointless Geometry) and WIDT cd/dvd (2016, Zoharum), both appreciated by the renowned british magazine The Quietus.
