Perspectives

Perspectives is an ongoing performance research evolving around the phenomenon of perception points. During their residency at iii, the exploration focuses on the difference between the macro- and the micro relationship of humans and the constantly shifting machinery environment. The performance is a part of a larger work-in-progress that aims to re-evaluate the relationship between humans and their environment.
