Netherlands Media Art Institute Part of the Performmikka Internettikka event curated by Petra Heck 6 Netartists will use an interface in which they share from their isolated positions scattered in space each in front of their webcam, a combined image- and soundspace of expression and responsibility, a playground, a laboratory. The invited performers know each other via the Web. Their communication has always been mediated by machines and thus has always suffered from its weaknesses and benefited from its strength. Because they will not speak a common language their communication will be reduced to an exchange of sounds and gestures. The body, normally so absent in front of a computer, will be hyper present in this performance. Internet streaming in the bram.org salon Any malfunctioning will be part of the game and must be assumed, never panic. Archives:
What can we do together and why should we? What is left of communication when we don't share a common language to use while technological means create supplementary distortions? How to construct unity where there is none besides a mutual interest in art and the Internet? How, in front of an interface where you can see yourself all the time ,to be more attentive to the others than to your own actions? How to both overcome and respect our differences? Igor wasn't understood by anyone. He understood us all.
