A CONTEMPLATION OF DANGEROUS GAMES

It will draw elements from the theatre / rock performance / filmic and most important televisual language. The groups approach to both sound und their developing visual art has always been basically the same. Primarily to remove the restrictions of "technical standards" from their artistic considerations their use of the very latest computer technology to generate sound is to them only of equal importance to their use of cheap audio cassette recorders. Both have qualities of sound that are of use and interest to the group. It is that intrisic and individual quality that is their base of choice. They apply the same approach to their visual "selection" process and this performance will demonstrate this approach.

The group consider that all commercial standards appropriate for their appropriation. As part of the performance they also explore your abilities to receive and retain information by using multipal screens and projections therefore using the space of the Brucknerhaus to the fullest extent ... The relationship between the multiple images within the space will cause each viewer to have a unique and personal interpretation of the performance. This use of multiple images causes a viewer to apply their own "editing" of information. Therefore requiring them to establish their own story values this creating a personal understanding / relationship with the performers material.

Cabaret Voltaire will also include the physical sounds of technology. The sound of data being printed ... the sounds of film projectors mechanically in motion ... passing radio waves through the Brucknerhaus building ... intercepted telecommunications both open and "secure".

All these media are open to interruptions inclusion use and misuse (as is the real modern world of communication) the information to be distorted and manipulated through the artists perception to create their own truth into which the viewer / audience can apply their own perception / truth.
