K
A journey from intimacy to isolation driven by mobile technologies and
our need to communicate.
“We expect more from technology and less from each other. We create technology to provide
the illusion of companionship
without the demands of friendship.”
-Sherry Turkle
With two handheld and two fixed projectors, as well as 400 paper planes, the dancers seek to communicate with each other, the audience and themselves.
Messages dance around the space in projected words and flying planes, eroding the dancers relationship as they become increasingly present.
'Effective and affecting work'
