In the last post we invited you to a workshop about a Technology Talent Show, in this post we give you additional background about the motivation and scheduling behind that project.
PASSION, TERROR & INTERDEPENDENCE
A Cyborg Cabaret, curated by Dan Wilcox & Heather Knight
“Love without anger isn’t love at all” - Devo
Ours is an interdisciplinary project exploring technology and humanity so intertwined as to be a metaphorical Cyborg. Assembling an interdisciplinary group of technologists, playwrights, actors, musicians, and artists to create and perform short pieces, we meditate on human-machine relationships: symbiosis and slavery, empowerment and dependence, stability and fragility. We will encourage and enable participants to incorporate robotics or sensors into the show. Bringing robots and performers together on stage, we explore narratives of ourselves through the foils of machine mirrors. Performances will be organized into a three part Cabaret series occurring during the Spring of 2011.
