現場表演單元/ Live Performances on 17th March

[Play;]

Duration : 40:00

Digital narrative performance

(French experimental poetry, video art, live electronics, digital instrument-making)

 

[Play;] is the recalling of a trip in a virtual space, pairing a visual navigation and a poetic narrative which influence each other and evolve in a constantly multiplied tale. Translucent and hermetic virtual spaces are daisy chained mirroring various degrees of consciousness of an avatar left alone with her reflection. Cross-examining a possible dehumanising, re-appropriating of oneself exponential identity, [Play;] is a game of creation of permutable identities. Meet yourself in one’s shadow; the place where you can meet the outside of yourself is a lure.

This performance inquires the gaps between real time and virtual realities through a virtual autofiction game - where the issue is none other than becoming our own avatar.

Sandrine Deumier

Author, video artist and performer(Toulouse, France)

With her dual philosophical and artistic training, Sandrine Deumier constructed a multifaceted poetry focused on the issue of technological change and the performative place of poetry conceived through new technologies. Using material from the word as image and the image as a word vector, she also works at the junction of video and sound poetry considering them as sensitive devices to express a form of unconscious material itself. The process of writing and the mobile material of the image function as underlying meanings of reflux which refer to the real flickering and to their reality transfers via unconscious thought structures. Her work consists mainly of poetic texts, vidéopoèmes, multimedia installations and audiovisual poetic performances in collaboration with composers.​
