Corpus Nil

This performance hybridises the languages of dance, sound art and body art into a tense choreographic interchange between a human performer and an autonomous machine. As the performer moves, the machine uses the bioelectrical voltages and the bioacoustic sounds from Donnarumma’s body as the raw material to autonomously generate monolithic sound and light patterns. The human performer and the machine, form a novel kind of body, unknown and partial, disturbing and graceful.
