SYNOPSIS
ALICE, BOB & EVE
Embodying attributes of placeholder names in cryptography,
Alice, Bob & Eve is a movement research ‘living laboratory’
hidden in a gallery space which examines the daily
choreography of movement in our data-driven society – seeing
as how trends like Tik Tok, gait recognition technology and
Deepfake for dance have come to predict and affect the way
we move.
Inside, we are presented with three unique research events
where the public, performers and artist-researchers are
gathered to probe underlying mechanisms and assumptions of
these new technologies with their participative input.
Over a 4-hour durational span, the performers are entangled
in an apparatus of interfaces and sensors, blurring the
lines between human and machine. Can embodied forms of
knowledge such as memory and deliberation be overwritten
by scientific and technical knowledge? How can we reclaim our
daily movements to form a new social kinaesthetic?
