RAP(s) - Random Access Performances - TwT.algomake
AlgoMech 2016, Access Space, Sheffield, UK
Thursday, 17 November 2016, 6-9pm
OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s) - TwT. returns as part of AlgoMech 2016 - the first Festival of Algorithmic and Mechanical Movement in Sheffield!
AlgoMech
seeks to examine the complex relationship between technology, widely
defined, and performance. This first edition of the festival will
celebrate the resurgence of making in performance, where creative
processes are made visible during a live event. Rather than presenting technology as seamless, AlgoMech will pick at the seams, exposing its innards as human made and reconfigurable. algoMech goes beyond fashionable notions of technology by taking the long view and bringing together mechanical, kinetic, electronic
and software arts. Spanning the stone age to present day AlgoMech
builds a picture of the human maker as both digital and analogue,
thinking and feeling, embodied yet reaching beyond what is bodily
possible.
At the heart of OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s) - TwT. lies the idea of making performance from algorithmic processes and translating computational processes into physical presentations and performances. We have invited 5 performers to take up the challenge to re-think the digital! Anything goes as long as it is about or related to digital technology, 1 to 10 minutes in duration and happening on some sort of platform.

'Technology without
Technology' (TwT) performances are a creative, playfully serious strategy to
negotiate the 'unknowable' of digital technology and the constant
information overload in our contemporary world.

OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s) - TwT. is
a micro event series that explores the digital with physical means by asking
performers to present digital work without using anything digital. Five performers take up the challenge of re-thinking
the digital with free interpretations that are 1 to 10 minutes in
duration, about or related to digital technology and happening on some
sort of platform. OPEN PLATFORM/RAP(s) - TwT. originated at Access space in 2012 and is curated by Susanne Palzer.
