A sequence of performative acts, physical and verbal, will be initiated and pursued to an illogical conclusion. The space will be interrupted and expanded by feedback and audio-visual sampling of the performance. These captures will be returned to the environment and mixed with previously recorded environments via a multi-channel array of speakers and a video projection. The space created is an awkward balance between performance and that of the technician presenting representations of present and previous vocabularies of material within similar time frames.
Nathan Butler is currently working toward an MFA in the Sound Department at The School of the Art Institute Chicago.
