Wandering through the virtual and physical spaces of intermediality, (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ screamage diverts us from our usual perceptions. Choreographer Jan Rozman translates the mechanisms of internet logic into analog form with intersecting humor. By dismantling the elements of the digital world, he creates a visionary atmosphere somewhere between illusion and reality.
How does pixelated information get caught in the network of an organic body? What kind of stage (a)effects does a work with incompatible Internet content generate? What in the web of images is actually t r U E?
We live in a mediatized world of wild conspiracy theories, impending ecological crises, pernicious narrations, where ironic + nihilistic viral #influenza pictures are concurrently cropping up on innumerable devices. A toxic cloud of digital images is drifting from the monitors in parallel to the degradation of the physical environment.
In response to the oculocentric organisation of the world, the hybrid stage production adds materiality to pasty digital images and processes them ¯_( physically )_/¯. It combines movement, video, the production with objects and sound, *through irony* translating the logic of the Internet into a physical space……………… The relationship between the body and images spreads open the virtual spaces of intermediacy; /between the organic /imaginary and digital /among memetic trash /between the atmosphere /affect and sensation /at the intersection of experience, apparition, premonition, and fact. Between the past, the manifold presents and – not virtual, but tangible – > future.
