08 Dancing with the Past - HOME
2021
Format: Installation
Dancing With the Past is an immersive audiovisual installation which allows visitors to experience a glimpse of the perception of time within digital realms.
The installation questions the non-existence of time, stored-in-the-cloud-selves and multiplied identities of the digital by using dance as a material to illustrate the play between physical and digital spaces.
These concepts are explored in an abstract and playful manner by allowing the visitors to dance with the past, shining a light on an all-too-contemporary state of having your persona fractured in time and frozen in the system.
The experience encourages intertemporal interactions -and ultimately the act of dancing with ourselves.
Dancing with the Past has been exhibited at the Bright Festival in the Kunstkraftwerk in Leipzig, Germany from 21 October to 24 October 2021 and at Riposte London on 12 November 2021.
DJ set created by Nanzhen Yeng.
