THIRTY SEVEN ISOLATED EVENTS
The world premiere of thirty seven isolated events is a responsive, intermedia performance and installation created by Bay Area choreographer paige starling sorvillo, media artist Lucy HG (LA) and composers Susan Hawkins (UK/AUS) and Liz Allbee (SF/OAK).
thirty seven isolated events begins with the normal running temperature of the human body and gradually fabricates a facsimile body. Within the noise of networked society, our intimate distance and distant intimacy induce a virtual or mediated sensibility. We are anesthetized our breath mechanized as our human biological system is hybridized with the global system. At thirty-seven degrees celcius, we also have an unprecedented potential to connect, to risk, to make contact inside the noise.
Developed in and across the languages of immersive and interactive video, contemporary performance/Butoh dance and experimental music/sound art, thirty seven isolated events reveals our daily complicity in remote-access war and the socio-economic violence of globalism. This new work seeks to challenge both audience and artist to recognize and respond to the violence of our daily lives.
May 22-31 world premiere performances of thirty seven isolated events at SFIAF are presented by paige starling sorvillo/blindsight and CounterPULSE.
Thursdays only are pay-what-you-can. Call CounterPULSE at 415-626-2060 for more information.
