Final Project

TITLE: Interface

DESCIPTION: 

I will wrap my entire face and head with a white cloth and sit a close distance in front of a projector as a work document is projected onto my face.  For 3 minutes I will type a stream of consciousness on my lap top that will simultaneously be projected back onto my face.  

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Through ritual, repetition and duration, my performances explore how identity is expressed through the expression of materials and the language of media. I am currently investigating contemporary issues surrounding the digital interface to present a fresh perspective about how personal identity is shaped within it.

"Interface" explores the interconnected nature of language and identity, and the dislocation of the body within the digital. My work will present these issues by creating a continuous loop between these elements.

I have been inspired by the work of Ann Hamilton, a guest speaker at the festival, who explores issues similar to those I am working with through large scale performance and installation. 

This performance walks away from the ephemeral in my previous work and into the digital.
