Intro to the activity
Let's imagine that all the parts of us people here, things, images and architecture, seen and unseen that make up the present moment have their own experiences, needs, intelligence and abilities. They are able to move through space. In their own very specific ways, they can sense, experience, feel and know aspects of what is happening around them. They have their own wants and needs. Some want to be seen by you, some do not want to be seen. Some of them want to become parts of you and are working their way to you. Some are parts of material things, including humans, that make up the space. Some are parts of an unseen field of media representations that hang in the air, framing and filtering our experiences of the moment, offering what is absent yet possible in this situation.
Bringing parts of images of peoples, things and places that are absent from the situation into it, in relation to it’s dynamics. We (humans) performing as the inbetween, as the movement and behaviour of images and objects, as the energies they emit, the information they transmit.
- Exploring a scene by roleplaying part of it and then playing as and with parts of things in the scene
embodied sensations, augmented images and material things.
- These parts of things have their own senses, experiences, emotions, needs and abilities
- Parts of Images from pop culture and personal archives will be augmented into the space between characters, to represent the experiences that want to be known, but that the characters aren't yet ready to accept. They are presences of absences in the scene.
- They are parts of the field of the situation, but also externalised parts of ourselves that we aren't yet ready to integrate into ourselves
- Some are enfolded in our bodies, some projected onto images, some hidden in material things.
