SPACES ALIVE #abstract
Ars Electronica Festival 2018

Spaces Alive #abstract is a site-specific performative intervention based on the interaction between media artists, dancers, sound and the gallery space.
It problematises the presupposed neutrality of the “white cube,” while commenting on both the modernist myth of abstraction and the “perfection” of a perpetually optimised technology. The idea of error is translated into the subjectivization of technology through moving bodies augmented with webcams, now turned effectively into interfaces.
A video layer, processed in real time is integrated into an iconic painterly abstraction, covering the space of the gallery.
