*V2_ invited Chris Salter to become guest curator for a period of four
months starting in December 2010. To kick off his main project, the
Performative Ecologies expert meeting early next year, Salter will
present his book /Entangled: Technology and the Transformation of
Performance/*, *and introduce the research topics he will focus on
during his curatorship. *
Performing arts traditions span thousands of years of human history, but
today, the word "performative" seems to be gaining increasing traction
in all kinds of disciplines that have never before described their
practices that way, including science and technology studies, the media
arts, economics, sociology, anthropology and architecture, to name just
a few. Why are these fields suddenly turning toward the performative and
material and moving away from the simulated, virtual and disembodied --
qualities that characterized technocultural artistic practices as well
as cultural theory at the end of the last century?
The Italian performance artist TeZ presents ANHARMONIUM, an immersive
installation and performance investigating spatial awareness via light
reflections of water waves. Ultrasonic sound will make water in small
basins vibrate, and laser beams will project the wave patterns onto the
walls and ceiling of the V2_ space.
Perform! will be streamed live at www.v2.nl, December 2, 20:00 CET.
Pictures of this event tagged with the keyword V2_ will automatically be
published at v2.nl.
