Updated version of “Turning the Tables,” an installation based performance object by Lyes Belhocine and myself, at The Art of Collaboration Symposium, 10/21 and 10/22.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Turning the Tables begins with the premise that the production and reception of digital media is always profoundly reliant on our analog experiences of being in our bodies. Phonographs and bicycle parts, the building blocks of this sculptural collaboration, are analog technologies that our bodies have come to understand at a muscular level: 33 and 1/3 rpms is a rotational cadence inscribed into the very fiber of a DeeJay’s body. Most body types reach maximal efficiency on a bicycle at a cadence of two rotations per second. This has necessarily meant that the human organism has reshaped itself around and through these technologies. Turning the Tables invites viewer participants to cooperate and explore unusual junctures of the analog and the digital in an attempt to ask how the human organism will be reshaped by the technologies and interfaces that we construct today.
SEEKING YOUR HELP (again): this time what I need is for you to scour your memory of experiences at work. I need your stories of your body at work. Service work is probably most applicable here. Remember all those people who you were trying to be polite to, but just didn’t fucking get it? That guy who wanted a different fork because it touched your arm? Or the lady who was freaked out about the *possibility* that the vegetables you’re selling might have been touched by a mexican? Send me brief synopsis: I’ll contact you for an interview. Results to be included (annonymously, if you like) in a website and iphone app about the history of products….
