Fakeshop presents:
MULTIPLE DWELLING
A Performative Installation with Remote Data Hookup
Three Saturdays in June
June 6, 13, 20, 1998
8 pm
duration: 4 hours
MULTIPLE DWELLING is an installation project which will exist
simultaneously in a real, physically-constructed space and an
artificial, digitally-generated one. It is a techno-poetic response to
the theories of Antonin Artaud, Delueze/Guattari and The Critical Art
Ensemble on the concept of a "Body without Organs."
The installation project is instigated by a scene from the movie "Coma,"
in which a room full of bodies, involuntary donors of their own organs,
float, suspended in a state of perpetual coma. In Multiple Dwelling,
these suspended bodies, once comatose, will be shocked to their senses
through an overload of audio-visual ephemera and complete technical
breakdown.
The physical installation will be constructed of industrial-minimalist
structures, platforms for observation, scanning and accumulation of
bio-data, computers and associated input and output devices. Software
programs for the sound and construction of the digital aspect of the
installation have been specifically designed for the project by Japanese
sound architect, Kondo and Marek Walzcak, a VRML architect.
