Acknowledgements

Related versions of this poster were presented at the 2025 Music and the Moving Image Conference, as well as the Analytical Approaches to World Musics Special Topics Symposium (2025); thank you to everyone who provided feedback and thoughts on my work! Big thanks to Landon Morrison who gave me the idea of the “media installation poster.” I think he brought it up as a joke, but I quickly ordered a projector and reworked my poster to best represent the (audio)visuality of Kyary’s music videos!
