NODE #4 time-based works at Stedelijk • 11 May, 19:00—21:30
In an evening of time-based work, Sidsel Christensen, Jonathan Reus and Yao Qingmei play with situations surrounding infrastructures and their potential collapses. The works address states of panic induced by imminent technological breakdowns and consider what becomes legible after the crash. Sidsel Christensen opens the lecture performance Swallow the Journey by offering audiences a pill said to contain a nanorobot. Set in an audio-visual scenography of images and flickering lights, the artist narrates the intensifying journey of the nanorobot through the body and intertwines it with a history of nanotechnology. In Jonathan Reus’ if this, then that (iMac Music), two performers produce a sonic landscape from the circuits of the computer itself, stopping only when the machine breaks down. Combining machine aesthetics and free improvisation, Reus surgically manipulates
the insides of the iconic iMac G3 to produce melodic noise and glitchy images that assault the senses with an unrecognisable familiarity. Yao Qingmei’s three-channel video Molt (Body Inspection) is a comedic and critical inquiry into the logics underpinning the growth of surveillance and control. Taking the security checkpoint as inspiration, Yao presents a parodic choreography of airport procedures. Thanks to Erik Medeiros and Jacob Merin for the contribution to Sidsel Christensen's performance "Swallow the Journey". and the SonoLab Percussion Ensemble (Mei-yi Lee & Vitaly Medvedev) for their contribution to Jonathan Reus' production "if this, then that... (iMac Music)".
