Interactive Installation, Performances
The Net and the Self is an interactive music and dance installation mirroring our networked society. The audience enter in a room illuminated by UV backlights where dancers and musicians interact through an amplified harp that has its strings connected with fluorescent fishing lines attached to the walls. The installation is not a static, fixed piece of artwork, rather a constantly evolving experience that includes both the artists and the audience. In this way, we question the existing hierarchical dynamic, and what is art in general.
The artists that create this installation are : Pierre Emmanuel Mariaca, Herry Kim, Dongpu Ling , Brian Griffith, Gabe Le Neveu, Andrea Soto, Yunju Cho, Lena Martin, Anne LeBaron, and Ruoyi Shi.
We can access knowledge, history, and different forms of media quickly and draw upon that to create new works of art. Our physical existence and the virtual world has blended in such a way that the two are nearly indistinguishable. This can lead to the easy mindset of a dystopian future, however, we reject that instead of believing that this society is capable and ready to focus on the light while accepting the shadow as part of it.
