The 21st century human body is at all times submerged within an ocean of man-made energies. Some of these waves carry within their flows and eddies the material manifestations of information, some are unintentional waste products of their sources, human inhabitation of a space that exists in the shadow of the chorus of sensation.
The underlying techniques used in this work are culled from fundamental research into certain abandoned body-centric telecommunication technologies developed at MIT in the mid-1990’s. The choreography itself draws on the utopian technological mythos – time and space are gone while intimacy is untouched.
Supporting the performance is a stage functioning as a massive pair of coupling electrodes, transforming the performers into human instruments – the dancers physically embody the signals, becoming one with the phenomenon while extending it from acoustic space to interpersonal space.
