WHAT IS LIVENESS?

WHAT IS LIVENESS? April 21, 2021 6pm In the wake of this challenging time, we present a showcase of performances from ASU artists, who examine the role of liveness in a Post-COVID world. What will the future hold for live experience, will we embrace the glitch, or choose another strategy to engage this moment of digital disidentification? Using emerging performance techniques and technologies, these artists will imagine, construct, collage, and create unique worlds through mediation, gamification, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The showcase will include a variety of media performance hybrids, site-specific works, and a reclamation of broadcast practices and aesthetics as a surrogate for togetherness. Experience curated and facilitated by Professors Max Bernstein and Robert Farid Karimi Featuring creations by artists: Michelangelo Cozzo Olivia Hernandez Anji Inukai Ivie Keene Garrett Keeto Ri Lindegren Collin Mcshane Karrah Monce Abrielle Myers Crystal Nguyễn Dejuan Porter Lucy Primiano Patrick Rivers Adrian Sanchez Bradley Smith Matthew Soson Grant St. Clair Georgia Stanley Ziqian Zhou This event is made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
