Tensegrity
Bridging senses through an extracellular matrixial score, TENSEGRITY is a duet with an Anthropomorphic Machine created by Stelarc for Science Gallery Melbourne.
- Dancing-with Stelarc & Collaborators' Anthropomorphic Machine, TENSEGRITY was an interactive choreography for Science Gallery Melbourne. Reacting to gestures and dynamics, the Machine as dance partner quivered, glitched, undulated and pulsed. In moving with fascia as (im)material strata for enhanced ecological thinking through the artificial breathing of the Machine, I inhabited an extracellular matrixial choreographic score for connection. Sound composed by Russell Scoones, blended with the Machine's temporal spasms. The deep brassy breath of the endangered euphonium was played by Rafe Scoones. Ellie Boekman created a costume that gestured to the tensegrity of machine-flesh relations with its layered mesh and equipment for extension.
