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.
