Displacements

“Displacements” is a collaborative project that aims to explore the principal aspects of contemporary art production and live performance within a newly built platform. Essentially, it is an interactive and interdisciplinary physical interface for live holographic video streaming of performances. Displacements is a collaborative project that aims to explore the principal aspects of contemporary art production and live performance within a newly built platform. Essentially, it is an interactive and interdisciplinary physical interface for live holographic video streaming of performances. The limitations and possibilities brought by these new conceptual, production, performance and spectatorship conditions will inevitably generate specific experiences for audiences as well as for performers; the platform’s fundamental goal is to initiate, monitor, document and classify these experiences. The Displacements platform is constructed as a physical space that mimics a small performance stage, embodying the means of online communication within a digital, virtual space. It enables artists living in different geographic locations to jointly create the piece. Newly-created productions can be performed live from distant places and experienced by a physically present audience. The tools used for the creation of the artwork are video, audio, performance streaming, web presence and holographic projection. The selected artists come from different fields such as the visual arts, performance, theater, music, literature, film and new media. Through new art productions, the Displacements platform explores complex notions of personal experience, sensibilities, presence, displacement, audience, immediacy, space, private vs. public, intimate vs. spectacular, individual vs. collective, digital vs. corporeal. What happens in the absence of the mutual physical presence of performers and audience? What happens when the virtual body inhabits the same space as its audience, disrupting the overall physical limitations of the digital? How do performers negotiate their isolation from or the absence of the audience? How is this reflected in the performance? How do the physical limitations of the proposed platform’s space reconstruct the performance? The artistic responses provoked by these questions and elaborated within the production processes will be collected by documenting diverse modes of involvement, thus generating an extensive database of discussions, communication transcripts and audio and video records. This material will then be presented as a browsable archive of all discussed ideas, concepts and processes, relevant not only to the creation and development of the platform, but also to the prospect of expanding relevant performance-related art forms beyond the binding box of what is currently identified and approved of, into the digital realm. The platform being exhibited at the Serbian pavilion of PQ 2011 aims to explore art forms that depart from the premise of a mutually shared material existence and explore the legitimacy of digital – or even more so – multiple presences. It maps out potential routes for the departure from shared presence of artist and audience, and examines (both theoretically and practically) the ensuing implications on the performing arts.


The "Displacements" project co-curators are Ana Adamović and Milica Pekić.
