Matomatic

 

 

2010 with Matthew Champoux and Eric Gould Bear. Multi-channel video.

Matomatic is the working title for an experimental project that extends the polylinear syntax of (6×6) Emptiness Can Hold Things to an examination of bodily movement, constructed for interactive viewing on a split-screen display. From an environment external to the body of a human beholder in the case of 6×6, our attention in Matomatic turns outside-in to observe the dynamic body itself, probing dimensions of a space that is articulated by the performer’s gestures, breath, and gaze.
