Experiencing Interruptions?

Diapason

DIAPASON
from Greek dia pasōn ‘through all’

The title recall a sort of resonator.
A wobulator, a portmanteau word of wobble and oscillator, a modified monitor first prototyped by Nam June Paik, has been used to process a choreography, which is morphing responding to low and high pitch frequencies. The body of the performer is a node, in a state of estrangement within the self, but so capable of creating a sense of community outside of the self. It can immerse and go along within verticality, and at the same time it can have a critical attitude towards its own ephemeral position. The balance in between is extremely fragile. “Within this definition of critical spatial practice there should be a productive schizo-break.” Markus Miessen, Crossbenching
