The body vexed - Hypo Chrysos Action Art for Biophysical Media at CYNETART Fest
by Marco Donnarumma 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

(apologies for any x-post) Dear all, if you happen to be in Dresden this weekend. On Thursday and Saturday night I'll be at CYNETART Festival performing a new version of Hypo Chrysos, an action art piece for Xth Sense biophysical media, multiple loudspeakers and subwoofers, and real-time visuals. Info below. wishing you well, M \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ in occasion of Metabody Performance Night @ CYNETART Festival Hypo Chrysos v.2 action art for vexed body and biophysical media (Xth Sense) "During this twenty minutes action I pull two concrete blocks in a circle. My motion is oppressively constant. I have to force myself into accepting the pain until the action is ended. The increasing strain of my corporeal tissues produces continuous bioacoustic signals. The sound of the blood flow, muscle contraction bursts, and bone crackling are amplified, accumulated, distorted, and played back through 4 loudspeakers and 4 subwoofers using the biophysical instrument Xth Sense (Pd-based), developed by the author... When the performer’s muscle vibration becomes tangible sound breaching into the outer world, it invades the audience members’ bodies through their ears, skin, and muscle sensory receptors. The sound makes their muscles resonate, establishing a nexus between player and audience. The listeners’ bodies, the player’s body, and the performance space resonate synchronously" VIDEO: http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/hypo-chrysos/ WHEN: Thursday 14th November / Saturday 16th November WHERE: Dresden, Great Hall of the Hellerau Festpielhaus, Germany COST: Thursday £3, Saturday £5/8 PUBLICATION: http://cec.sonus.ca/econtact/14_2/donnarumma_hypochrysos.html Metabody Conference is part of the Metahuman/Metaformance Studies programme of the European Community-funded Metabody Project, that embraces the series of presentations taking part in more than 25 events in more than 15 cities of 11 countries.
