No Place To Go Installation
NP2G Artist Statement: What would you give up in order to be part of a new world? This multi-medium hybrid performance/ installation peers behind the curtain of a posthuman liturgy at the parts and wires of a crumbling façade. We explore a relationship of dependence and exploitation as the technologically blurred boundaries of the machine and the organic manifest a chaotic cyborg reality. As we relinquish our data into the vectors of consumerism, our differences, our queerness, and our struggles for resistance find no way to escape from the digital nation-state. Situated in this violence of assimilation, capitalism, and consumer culture, we examine our relationship with excess and disconnection from the earth and each other. In this manifestation of the myth of the American Dream, there is no light at the end of the tunnel, only glitching circuits, bodies alienated from themselves. What would you sacrifice in order to avoid being the thing sacrificed?
