CHN02
CHN02 is a hyper meditation on contemporary media culture. Our global culture’s dependence on technology and the Internet is changing the very way we think. Literally. The Internet is actually rewiring the circuitry of our brains, in a physical way. Neurologists have shown that our minds are actually engaging with the world around us in a very different way than they used to. We have been training ourselves with distraction. CHN02 will harness this distraction-learning both in form and content. CHN02 is a two part live performance, which uses both cutting edge custom technology as well as no technology at all.
