Extended Bodies is an audio-visual event focusing on the interface between humans and the contemporary environment. The performances present a range of artistic perspectives exploring how radioactivity, mining, construction and chemical proliferation shape our environment.
Line Up:
iko - Ephemeral Equilibrium
Inspired by the story of the Fukushima butterfly and its genetic mutations following the nuclear disaster in 2011, "Ephemeral Equilibrium” explores the fragility of the natural world and its vulnerability to human activity. "Ephemeral Equilibrium" is a call to action, inviting listeners to consider their own impact on the environment and the role they can play in fostering a more sustainable future.
Callum Murray - CONCRETE
“CONCRETE” is an improvised audiovisual performance in which found sound material from nature, musical instruments, and electronic sounds, are processed by a computer algorithm, and then visualised. The algorithm improvises, along with the performer, to create a concrete - an audiovisual surface, which has intricate detail, and is built from an aggregate of many different materials.
Danilo Ricci - Cycle of Stone
Through a performance based around the electrical signals of plants, "Cycle of Stone" explores the chronological phases of human interference in our environment. Sometimes through alteration, sometimes through generative intervention, we are constantly interacting with the environment.
Leonard Maassen - 2.0
"2.0” engages with the permeability of human bodies to environmental influence. By exploring bodily self-perception through sound, the performance asks us to listen to what our bodies tell us about the processes and presences occurring in the extended environment.
Indira Zhangabayeva (featuring Trio Farben) - Invisible
“Invisible” is a piece about the energetic worlds we are surrounded by. The vibrations around us create our physical world, but also hold invisible information that we can feel. Everything in this world was created by, and consists of energy that vibrates. The Environment can thus be divided in two. Into visible worlds: materials made up of energy in the form of atoms, and invisible worlds: the vibrations that don’t have a physically manifest form.
