Wie schon im vergangenen Jahr beteiligen wir uns
an der neuen Ausgabe des Cyberformance Festivals. Über
alle Zeitzonen hinweg werden weltweit zahlreiche KünstlerInnen
zwischen dem 8. und 10. September, live 13 ausgewählte
Cyberformances auf der UpStage Plattform realisieren.
In München werden wir:
- Marlena
Corcoran mit ihrer Arbeit Salvation
live präsentieren,
- drei weitere Performances übertragen
- und ein Gespräch mit der Initiatorin des Cyberformance
Festivals Helen
Varley Jamieson
führen.

Wir bedanken uns bei sub-bavaria.de

Zu den vier Performances:
(Hinweis: Manche von den englischen Originaltexte
sind wirklich nicht übersetzbar, daher habe ich mir das
ganze gespart. Alle Verwirrungen bleiben Eigenschaften des Originals.
- Tamiko)
“Salvation”
by Marlena
Corcoran (Germany), Antoinette LaFarge (USA), Julian Hermann
(Germany) & Tara Rebele (USA):
brings together stories of rescue and redemption at the crossroads
of land and water, New York and Venice, heaven and earth, literature
and technology. Original lyrics in English feature the story
of a woman who almost drowned in New York harbor, and the story
of the wedding of the Venetian doge with the sea. In the background,
we hear a man intone in Italian the instructions for what to
do if someone falls overboard from a vaporetto: cast a life-saving
ring into the sea. The ferry boats that rescued the passengers
of the plane that landed in the Hudson River are hailed by the
tolling bells of the Venetian Church of the Redeemer.
"Durito’s
Dancing Box Manifesto …"
by Miljana Peric, Julijana Protic & Teodora Peric (Serbia),
& Suzon Fuks & James Cunningham (Australia):
advocates the neverending constitution of an A-theoretical cyberformance
fluxes, with special relation to the digitalized Zapatistic
artivism. In some way, its conceptualization arouses from the
famous Goldman-Meltzer contradicition, as is based through their
two sentences: “I don’t want to be a part of your
revolution if I can’t dance”, and “If we gonna
just to dance, that won’t be my revolution.” In
other way, / … Manifesto/ will reveal one possible theoretization
of some UpStagers’ searchings that are turning the looking
glass of art theory and practice, spinning them to see from
the other side, around and around… So, in short: This
play is a manifestation of (not just) Zapatista cyberdancing,
which is happening just now. In parts.
"4th
WALL"
by Tara Rebele (USA), Miljana Peric (Serbia) & Suzon Fuks
(Belgium/Australia):
11:11 PM and Still Untitled/ is a poetic, abstract, participatory
performance. Part live intermedia cyberformance exquisite corpse,
part virtual poetic installation. This work will explore the
poetic, lyrical, polyvocal, participatory possibilities of cyberformance
in UpStage—collaging organic/abstract visuals, sound,
poetic text and audience participation. Striving for absolute
removal of the virtual 4th wall, the audience’s textual
contributions will be as necessary as the performers’
in the creation of an ephemeral, interactive, poetic, performance
installation in UpStage.
"Machine
Divas"
Eva Ursprung (Austria), Sara Schmidt (Germany), Julia Gröblacher
(Austria), Helen Varley Jamieson (NZ/Istanbul), Cym (Austria/Netherlands)
& Suzon Fuks (Australia):
* what does a machine diva look like?
* does she have a soul?
* are her friends electric?
* is she just after our robots?
* does she control this machine?
* would she make a good girlfriend?
* does she have a tail?
This performance emerged from a cyberformance workshop held
by Helen at the Machine
Divas conference, Vienna, July 2009.
