| Liz Heard - "Red Spill" began with a desire to rewrite Gerorg Buchner's "Woycek" as a woman's story. In "Woycek," the prostitute Marie is murdered by the desperate, delusional Woycek. In "Red Spill," Marie replaces Woycek as the central character. Marie struggles to survive at the bottom of the social order, at the bottom of a vortex of anxiety, frustration, anger and fully-grounded fear, and it is Marie, not Woycek, who takes up a murderous knife as a tool of physical and psychic survival. Buchner's "Woycek," which was found among his papers after his death, is a collection of short, vivid scenes, a fragmented and possibly incomplete text. In keeping with "Woycek's" undecidable structure, "Red Spill" will be a hyper-text performance score (including text and images) with an undecided order and short, visually evocative scenes. Ideally, this form will function as a dramaturgical trampoline. The artist can jump anywhere on the trampoline and launch the performance into a gymnastic variations of choreography, spoken/sung music, visual elements, spatial articulations. |
| Kalle Macrides - "Dealing with a box" |
| P.J. Novelli - WhatRULooking@? |
| Yoko Takahashi - Emerging technology distorts human behavior into new patterns of
obsessive anxiety: human behavior twists technology into perverse patterns of desire.
A woman stands with her back to the audience in a dark space filled with hanging computer cables, mice, and CD-ROMs. Her feet are fettered with a ball and chain of computer components: cables, keyboard, monitor, etc. Slowly and precisely, she flagellates herself with a computer mouse, cuts her back with a CD-ROM, binds herself with cables. Video projection (via computer) marks her back with spots of impact, "blood," and a stream of html code (like a Tattoo). A spoken text resounds in the space. Tone is cool, emotionless, stoic, uncompromising, with an almost inaudible undertone of manic disorder erupting occasionally like nervous giggling fits. |
| Rodrigo Tisi - I n s t e a d: a manifestation of a regular citizen who is encouraged to become “an artist”, even if it is for the purposes of a class [my everyday life experiences are sometimes boring]. The platform for I n s t e a d is the cool and the unpersonal space of the web -- the so called virtual reality that is generated, perceived and understanded only somewhere in between our own ears. |
