Event: Power 2

By Dan Gould on August 28, 2008

This Saturday, a unique art performance is happening at Brooklyn’s Issue Project Room at the Old American Can Factory. Called “Power 2″ it’s a hybrid between dance, music and interactive projected video. The dancer’s movements will control the action on screen, and the crowd, who are encouraged to wear all white, will get brought into the performance.

From the Power website:

Power is a series of curatorial experiments that examines the phases of web media through collaborative projects. Utilizing performance and new media, these shows may touch upon a variety of subjects, such as: the anxiety of influence, dromology, and the semantic web. The aim, however, is simply to provide the viewer with a visceral visual experience.

For its second incarnation, choreographer Kristina Donello, media artist Nick Lesley and members of Finnish sound collective super group Avarus fuse dance, motion capture video, and sound to create a Gesamtkunstwerk (Total Art) that addresses the era of social media.

Power happens 9pm, this Saturday at 232 3rd St (at Third Ave) Gowanus, Brooklyn NY
