ILLUMINE

Body-sensor technology

Exercises in colloquial luminescence

'The first corporeal form which some call corporeity is in my opinion light' - Robert Grosseteste

An open performance organised as a closure of the artist-residency of collaborators Isabel Rocamora and Camila Valenzuela at FoAM (Brussels), within the 'Illumine' programme. The two artists in residence are joined by Stevie Wishart and several FoAM collaborators in a jam-session with matter and media.

The experiment is conceived as an open studio, where the audience is invited to meet the artists, exhcange ideas and insperiences. Throughout the evening the public can witness small experiments in which the boundaries of choreography are niddled on by media systems, suspended bodies move through costumes designed as minuscule wearable spaces, live improvised sounds converse with computer generated media in a 'camera obscura', where gravity seems reversible and the architecture turns into illuminated walkways.

Text by commissioner and collaborator Maja Kuzmanovic (FoAM)

Body-media exercises included: 'the ebb and flow of stubborn matter', 'camera obscura', 'light and the spinal chord'
