Two technological bodies—a poet and a pen plotter machine—will simultaneously perform. What can the staging of technological automation reveal environmentally or emotionally about our perception of labor?
A Floating Grid explores the liminal space between the human body and mechanical body as poetic embodiments and engages the audience’s sensory experience of watching a live text shapeshift from a language-oriented object to a soundscape. Inspired by choreographies of labor, installation as performance, and rituals of repetition, this performance reimagines the pen plotter’s sonic and percussive elements into an improvised, living soundscape.
CultureHub Resident Artists Catherine Chen and Georgios Cherouvim will share a hybrid lecture-performance that offers insights into their collaborative process during their residency. Is labor a technology? Audience members are invited to reflect as they view prints created by the pen plotter.
