Test Patches

2003

66b/cell (JP)

All and nothing, black and white, transient and permanent —indelibly stamped. The performance Test Patches, like test applications, is designed to reveal reactions and answers. Adaptation and mutation of audiovisual effects and scripted, choreographed movements are used to create constantly novel improvisations, moods and insights. A device worn on the body that synchronizes video and audio networks with body movements turn the artist into a living interface between audience and installation—thus a performance approach that reflects a cut-’n’-paste media culture or a freefall between genres.
