CUBOID STATE OF MIND
CUBOID is a large 6X10 structure that comes to life for 10 minute long performances both in a physical space and its digital counterpart presence, live streamed on a host Facebook account.
Physical audience members witness a moving silhouette on the outside, and are encouraged to tune in on their phone to see what’s happening on the inside, allowing a disjointed peek inside. Touching the material to try to connect to the dancer inside is encouraged. As the material is stretched inwards, the dancer adjusts movements of her phrase based on where walls are pressed, creating connection despite, or because of, the membranous boundary.
Digital audiences can control and change CUBOID Lighting based on “emoji reaction” commentary through the Facebook Live stream, augmenting dancing rhythm emotional state of @persomalive.
“I was at my computer with headphones on, clicking away on emojis and watching the colors change, then the dancer change the mood of the dancing; I felt like a puppeteer of the digital realm, fighting for power with all the other users. ”
“The soft membrane was entrancing to caress. Stumbling upon the audio sensors amidst it was an empowering moment of communal creation. ”
“The mesmerizing soundscape felt like being on another planet.”
“Experiencing my finger touching the phone screen and then touching the fabric; when the dancer touched back, it felt somehow grounding amidst the chaos of all the input.”
