Thanks to all who responded to my post, recently, I was very happy to hear from you. (And was sorry to see I confused being quiet with being quite). Suzon, I just reviewed the short film you were instrumental in creating, on a kind of recent history (before Zoom came a popular meeting space during the pandemic) of networked performance; and I appreciate your reference to your own performance "Be Like Body–Obsolete".
Please share more how you understand somatic alarms, and measures to deal with our crisis? I watched an excerpt of your beautiful project, "Be Like Body–Obsolete" ( https://vimeo.com/704400497O, where you seem trapped or enclosed by a graveyard of computers/motherboards/screens who may now drift off like space debris; though at the end of the excerpt you still seem caught in a box (and then the zoom participants/observers appear on screen for a yoga breathing ritual). Having participated also with Annie Abrahams' "Distant Feelings" and "Distant Movement" performances, which I quite liked at the time, I now feel more quietly resigned, quite turned off by Zoom and screen meetings – a dysfunctional space in my mind, and black screens won't help me to love it either. I really did enjoy hearing a women's voice speak in Farsi, asking - "now, human, tell us with your artificial intelligence / what color is mature satisfaction?" The texts written by your co-performers (all women) tend to be wonderfully ironic, and sarcastic, did I get that right? (and Stelarc may have been an "outside eye", if he could still see?). Have you all heard the term "black-boxing", that we are being blackboxed? I wonder. warm regards Johannes Birringer +++ On Sat, May 20, 2023 at 2:57 PM Suzon Fuks via NetBehaviour < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Johannes for sharing your reflection about ISEA and network > performance.
