LAB ON STAGE (Adriana Torres Topaga, Martyna Lorenc and Andrea Maria Handler): Phantom Data in our bodies and imagination

How to Become a High-Tech-Anti-Discrimination Activist Collective

Sat Sep 12, 2020, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
All times are given in Central European Summer Time (CEST / UTC +2).
Library (Learning Center, Conference Room),

This workshop undertakes a performing arts’ approach. Our departure is the embodiment of imagination and perceptual processes. With somatic exercises and performative games, we notice the data flowing in from our bodies: sensation, image, emotion or memory. Imagination has its own training dataset – therefore a specific priming/bias/imprint. We look for practices of becoming aware of HOW we imagine things and what escapes our field of attention.
