In a timeless present, we are immersed in the fragmented world of sound and experience of a pregnant posthuman being. It is neither reality nor fiction, neither statement nor silence, neither universality nor particularity. The Chimaera is with her unborn children in the singular-plural state and intimate experience of the presence of the Other, the relationship to the unknown, the not-yet of the world. MICRO (Greek
‘small’, ‘close’) stands for the small, intimate, sonic micropractices of her unborn children, the imaginary telesonocephalopodes, who intra-act with each other and with their meta-mother in the cyberuterus. Their poesie sonore with matter and microphones is an attempt to make contact with our reality through telematic vibrational spaces and to be in resonance with human or more-than-human actors.
MICRO is a telematic concert installation by HannaH Walter and Robert Torche aka Chimère Electrique for 7 performers in 7 locations becoming through sound and matter connected via the internet. Produced by Collective Mycelium in co-production with the
Telematic Performance Format group at Zurich University of the Arts and Ensemble Interface.
