Parallax

Parallax is a multimedia installation and dance performance that combines digital and analog technologies with dance to explore themes of fragmentation, isolation, and memory.

Part installation and part performance, Parallax unpacks the experience of human embodiment in terms of refraction and discontinuity. The work uses a variety of mechanisms to fragment the body in an attempt to trouble the notion of physical discreteness and singularity.

Heavily influenced by ideas from futurology, cyborgism, and mycology, Parallax imagines humanity across an impossibly vast timeline, reaching through an expanding cosmos, alone yet multiple, contained yet discontinuous, a mycelial map of dreams and yearnings cascading through space.

The Parallax research spans multiple disciplines and practices and has been presented in a variety of contexts. To date it has been presented as a dance performance and as an installation in a gallery. A cassette tape release of the Parallax soundtrack is also available through Pseudo Laboratories! 😀
