about

REEL TO REEL FEEL

This live performance is the embodiment of our need to perform and create during the lockdown of 2020. Our focus is a visceral live performance where the dialog happens between 2 humans and a real reel to reel tape machine strumming the chords of a guitar used as a resonator, always in feedback. It feels like performing in front of an uncanny aural mirror. We aim to create new textures and music while in dialogue with a machine that is always listening, repeating & varying the pitch of the inputted signal. The resulting symbiosis is focused on the fast-shifting dynamic between humans and technology.
The visuals were all created using slow Al Morphs a concept that aesthetically compliments the dialogue between man and machine, always evolving, a constant struggle to build and deconstruct an image with another. This specific shifting dynamic became at the end of our research the artwork itself. The main scene was also filmed and edited in a similar workflow, by transforming pictures of the performers into moving images, it seems like the two performers are two ephemeral creatures, always shifting decomposing, and regenerating their bodies.
