MODINA | J. GUEVARA IN N. HIEDA: SFDCANBAC++

dance performance | premiere

The performance is a series of practices, a “petri dish” where a form emerges as in the lab environment, temporal phenomena that question linearity without an anecdote.

* Duration: Approximately 90 minutes. The hall can be left and re-entered during the entire performance.
* The performance will be held in English.
* The performance is recorded in its entirety, with the possibility of publication online.

It’s you as an audience member – an active spectator – who makes sense of the phenomena on the stage as if you are a scientist. Keep in mind that it’s not about what you see – what you see are mirrors. “We are nothing but mirrors.” D. Bershan

At some point there is a participatory workshop, where live-coding serves to unveil the black box of the machine. What will you ask the machine? 

You are invited to become an actor who generates the images  projected through the video beamer in real-time. No coding experience? No problem! With Copilot AI as an artificial intelligence assistant, you’re writing computer code without prior knowledge. Yay! 

The fragmented bodies on the stage become contagious, modulating waveforms and networking with different expressions of life (actors) in the space through vulnerability and computer code. This interplay highlights the concept of care, where each participant’s engagement nurtures a collective experience. As the artificial intelligence assistant, Copilot AI aids in writing code, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute. The synergy of human vulnerability and technological support cultivates a space where creativity and care (e)merge, allowing participants to connect and transform the ever-changing physical-digital landscape together.
