hybrid memory | reflector
runtime: 20mins
performers: duet
hybrid memory | reflector is a composite of pre-existing duets from slowdanger’s ‘memory 4' and ‘TETHER'. The work examines the hypothetical concepts of engrams, or memory traces, and the claim that the brain simultaneously stores two versions of each event; one for long term memory and one for short. ‘hybrid memory’ fuses several theatrical elements to examine how our surroundings affect shifting states and personas, generating an evocative performance landscape of fragmented memory. This work is built with ProjectileObject's LED responsive light sculpture which renders shadow and light as another 'performer' within the work; revealing, concealing and transforming the body/space.. hybrid memory | reflector is a collaborative work by slowdanger and ProjectileObjects.
