Theme: Every emerging technological paradigm implicates profound
transformations in how we perceive the world and ourselves. Currently,
computers, networks, sensors, and media technologies are at the center of
such a process, becoming interwoven into our lives, they way we work, we
learn, we play, we communicate. Space and body are redefined through the
capabilities, functionalities, and interfaces of these technologies.
Previously dominant connections among the individual, the community, and
their environment lose their primacy and new types of relationships emerge.
In this context the performance arts can play an important role
interrogating and exploring our current technologized condition and its
impact on our culture. Throughout the world artists are engaging and
confronting the significant possibilities and complex difficulties embedded
in the central technologies of our time.
RePerCuTe proposes a dialogue focusing on the transformations taking place
in our cultures and the way performance artists are engaging them.
