Metabody Performance Night @ CYNETART Festival

Hypo Chrysos v.2
action art for vexed body and biophysical media (Xth Sense)

"During this twenty minutes action I pull two concrete blocks in a circle.
My motion is oppressively constant. I have to force myself into accepting
the pain until the action is ended. The increasing strain of my corporeal
tissues produces continuous bioacoustic signals. The sound of the blood
flow, muscle contraction bursts, and bone crackling are amplified,
accumulated, distorted, and played back through 4 loudspeakers and 4
subwoofers using the biophysical instrument Xth Sense, developed by the
author...

When the performer’s muscle vibration becomes tangible sound breaching into
the outer world, it invades the audience members’ bodies through their
ears, skin, and muscle sensory receptors. The sound makes their muscles
resonate, establishing a nexus between player and audience. The listeners’
bodies, the player’s body, and the performance space resonate synchronously"
