Grrls Meet in Different
Ways Now
Space
is an unstable time-based construct. It is defined by movement and observation.
Time lags and delays that are part of its network infrastructure make
the real time of telecommunication events operating within several nows
and wheres. Middle space is as much about the virtual/mediated space as
the physical/local spaces from which they are derived.
The encounters presented
in "Grrls Meet in Different Ways Now" are conceptual explorations
of time delay, feedback and multiple representations of actions and temporalities
composed together in a common landscape.
In this online performance,
a private meeting takes place in the middle space. Software allows us
to create a composite of various media inputs from two geographical locations
in a common virtual workspace. The performance is not public; it is not
interactive; it is not accessible.
A photograph documents
each artist's interpretion of this live performance, and the moments of
shared screen space are exhibited in a real time and place. The meeting
becomes a performance of experience and location.
