Live Performance and Interactive Installation

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

 

A 4-day interactive installation and ongoing live performance in Stand 9A.12!!

​

Computer says “Home” 

​

The project combines the bureaucratic alienation, the papieren werkelijkheid, and the lived experiences of home. We understand “computer says” as a parody of “Computer says no” form of bureaucratic system to answer whether people are informed by the facts of their whereabouts.  

 

A Fabric of Homes

​

The project makes the relation to our social surroundings visible by stitching together all the conversations we have with our audience. We will ask them to write down their relation to home. Afterwards, a performer will work with the written text, which will be decomposed as material for the installation. Another performer will stitch the texts of the audience together to create a large “fabric” with a shape of a tent. By doing so, we create a large network of people that socially interact over the period of the event. To make visible the relation of art and place, by the social network of people coming to visit the venue.
