Traduction en français : Pourquoi l’utilisation de la visioconférence est-elle si épuisante? Une analyse. l’intimité est gênante l’intimité est gênante AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU AUCUN APERÇU PAS DE VUE D’ENSEMBLE vous devez scanner l’écran en continu interruption(s) impossible de détecter des détails subtils pas de détail l’imagination remplace les signes secondaires de la communication et ceux-ci doivent être traités sur leur utilité nous sommes enclins à vérifier notre propre image tout le temps comme si nous avions besoin d’une assurance continue que la connexion existe toujours tout le son est mélangé dans un environnement sonore mono, cela conduit à une compression de l’espace partagé, nous devons deviner d’où vient le son distraction(s) toi, je et moi une situation triangulaire dans laquelle nous nous sentons et nous regardons nous-mêmes et les autres … c’est psychologiquement exigeant: notre cerveau doit traiter le soi comme corps et comme image interruption(s) vous ne voyez les visages de près que lorsque vous êtes bébé dans un berceau ou avec un amoureux au lit vous ne voyez les visages de près que lorsque vous êtes bébé dans un berceau ou avec un amoureux au lit il y a du délai nous ne sommes jamais exactement dans le même temps / espace Tout cela contribue à un épuisement. Nous essayons de dépasser les limites des environnements artificiels sans prendre en compte ses spécificités. Que se passe-t-il si nous supprimons les sens que nous utilisons le plus pour communiquer? Et si nous fermons les yeux et ne parlons pas. Qu’est-ce qui reste?

With the 6th edition of the 48-hour showcase extravaganza, Stadtwerkstatt asks questions about the more-or-less situations, the counter-validity zones and the non-zero-sum games of the future. It is all and nothing about rational and irrational approaches in larger contexts, driven by questions of MORE, LESS, and above all of the OTHER.
Happy that my piece The Big Kiss from 2008 will be reperformed by Thomas Geiger in the 4th Festival of Minimal Actions on the 25th of July at 18h. Kunsthalle Wien, Reumannplatz, July 15–August 2, 2020
Concept: Thomas Geiger Realisation: Kunsthalle Wien as part of KISS Curated by: Laura Amann, Anne Faucheret, Aziza Harmel, WHW
“As part of KISS, Thomas Geiger will realize a new edition of his Festival of Minimal Actions (previously staged in Brussels, 2014; Paris, 2015 and San José, 2018). In what could be considered a reawakening of performative works, Geiger creates situations that deal with the possibilities and impossibilities of physical interaction, affection, intimacy, and romance in public space during periods of pandemic…
…The festival – the main premise of which is a belief in the independence of performative works from their authors – brings together a concise selection of works by other artists that Geiger will reperform at Reumannplatz. Through the changed social, political, and temporal contexts between their original performance and this one, the works gain additional facets and shed some of their original aspects.” Extracted from the exhibition text by Laura Amann, 2020.
Reperformed will be original works from Annie Abrahams (NL) • Breda Beban (SRB) • Sergio Rojas Chaves (CR) • Anetta Mona Chisa (RO) & Lucia Tkacova (SK) • Dora Garcia (ESP) • Vitya Gluchenko (UKR) • Javier González Pesce (CL) • Igor Grubic (HRV) • Satoshi Hashimoto (JP) • Adrien Missika (FR) • Cesare Pietroiusti (IT) • Neža Knez (SK) • Jiří Kovanda (CZ) • Donna Kukama (SA) • Alina Lupu (RO) • Ewa Partum (PL) • Charlotte Seidel (DE) • David Sherry (UK) • Yann Vanderme (FR). All original performances are describes at the festival’s website. I wish I lived in Wien for a few days.

Utterings is a networked performance and research group whose members gather online and, while blindfolded, engage in utterings as communication. They want to create an on the fly “new” language, that forwards attention, trust and affects, above rationality. Utterings is a collaborative attempt to go beyond the borders and closures created by languages, opening up and transgressing these in a performance that probes meaning through pre-language communication and formerly un-inhabited expressions. In Utterings communication is not approached as a transmission of information, ruled by code or abstract conventions, but as connection through affection, attention, glitches, delays and even voids.
Members of Utterings are Annie Abrahams (FR), Daniel Pinheiro (PT), Constança Carvalho Homem (PT), Curt Cloninger (US), Nerina Cocchi (BE) and Derek Piotr (US).

Distant Movements explorer ensemble la possibilité d’une expérience de danse devant un écran Durée 15 min. Guidé par Muriel, Daniel et Annie en français et en anglais. Si vous ne parlez que l’une de ces langues, vous pouvez rester dans votre propre mouvement jusqu’à ce que vous compreniez à nouveau les invitations. Nous voulons susciter un état de conscience propice à danser ensemble en ligne. Nous cherchons à développer un regard intérieur qui s’ouvre sur une danse en résonance. Mais en même temps nous allons apprendre une qualité d’écoute qui permet de continuer quand on ne comprend pas. Nous danserons ensemble. Yeux fermés. Attentifs au mouvement intérieur. Plus d’informations (français et anglais) : distantmovements.tumblr.com
Si vous souhaitez vous joindre à nous, vous devez installer l’application de zoom sur votre appareil. Téléchargement gratuit : https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting. (nous savons que zoom a des problèmes de confidentialité, mais nous n’avons pas encore trouvé d’alternative assez stable)

Distant Movements exploring together the possibility to experience dance in front of a screen Duration 15 min. Guided by Muriel, Daniel and Annie in French and English. If you only speak one of these languages you can stay in your own movement until you understand the guidance again. We not only want to arouse a state of consciousness favorable for dancing together online; for developping an inner gaze that opens to a dance in resonance, but we will also learn to listen to something we don’t understand. We will dance together. Eyes closed. Attentive to interior movement. More information (French and English) : distantmovements.tumblr.com
//
Distant Feelings an online ritual of contemplation on our situation of being together while being separated Duration 15 min. Eyes closed, no talking Background: bram.org/distantF or landproject.tumblr.com/distantfeelings
If you want to join either of these you need to install the zoom application on your device. Free download: https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting . (we know zoom has privacy issues, but we didn’t find a stable alternative yet – we also secretly enjoy supplying only worthless data)
The sessions will be recorded; we want to be able to go back to what happened. Everyone who participated can also ask for the recording – we will happily send it to them.
