Soft Systems Music uses facial recognition software as a compositional tool for a sonfication of gesture. Vida transforms the expressions of smiling actors into what he calls a "soft system”—a blend of the human and algorithmic, in which any subtle motion alters the composition. This work debuted in his 2016 exhibition,  [SMILE ON.] ... [PAUSE] ... [SMILE OFF.] and was later adapted to a live performance for E.S.P. TV's "Lifestyle Guru" event in 2017.
