A conversation about space-time shifts in telematic performance practice and collaboration between two distant locations in real time, with Camilo Mendez, Roberto Alonso (Hong Kong), Sharon Chan, Charles Kwong, Patrick Müller (Zürich) about the simultaneous performances “Time-Space Vessels” and “Gego Archipelago”.
“Gego Archipelago” (Camilo Mendez) is a performance created from the assembly of modular sound materials in space-time, using modified instruments and found objects that through repetition and constant change create an ever-expanding archipelago of multi-layered connections.
“Time-Space Vessels” (Charles Kwong) contributed to the telematic soundscape with an improvised set centred around synthesisers, shakuhachi, and self-built instruments that manipulate wireless audio feedback. The performance focused on exploring the performativity of feedback as a time-space phenomenon, and an audio simulation of a theorised time dilation.
