(excuse any x-post) Fellow spectrers,
Our recently funded artists group Fronte Vacuo (Donnarumma, Margherita Pevere, Andrea Familari) have just produced an informal video lecture for public access and dissemination: Body and Digitality: From early experiments to theater-making. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69ONaW31kl8 In the talk I discuss the relation of body and technology in the arts and how the body is at the center of a transdisciplinary avantgarde that, since the 1960s, has been meshing media art, dance and theater; a set of practices that made possible much of the art we see today. Tags under: #experimentation #performanceAndTechnology #cyberfeminism #alternativeEmbodiment #performativity #biophysicalPerformance The first 30 minutes are dedicated to a historical overview of body and technology works and performances from the 1960s until 2010s, including Alvin Lucier, E.A.T, Stelarc, Marcel.lí Antúnez Roca, VNS Matrix, Seiko Mikami, Shu Lea Cheang, Santasangre. The next 30 minutes are focused on my own work as well as on the collaborative works created with Fronte Vacuo co-founders Pevere and Familari, including my "7 Configurations" cycle, and Fronte Vacuo's new Humane Methods performance and happening series. The lecture was recorded with the kind support of Akademie für Theater und Digitalität, Dortmund, where myself and Familari are currently Research Fellows.
