IN RESIDENCY : Idioritaime {Your Skin Is My Sky}
Flux Laboratory welcomes in residency the Professor David Rudrauf (University of Geneva), the artist and researcher Isabella Pasqualini (Paris), and the choreographer, dancer and researcher Anatoli Vlassov (Paris), on their next performance Idioritaime {Your Skin Is My Sky} which will be presented during the 14th edition of the Mapping Festival in Geneva from 9th to 12th May 2018.
Idioritaime {Your Skin Is My Sky} invites you to experience the magical encounter with an unknown human being. Two people are connected with virtual reality headsets and surrounded by a polyphonic ring of dancers. Halfway between theorem and poem, this ritual incantation immerses the bodies in both a real and virtual, physical and imaginary dance. In this context of intimacy and eeriness, eyes meet and share their singularity. Does the encounter with the other only take place in reality? And beyond the present moment, what is the role of the fantasy we project on the other with a sense of intimacy or estrangement?
Proceeding from these questions, Idioritaime {Your Skin Is My Sky} sets the intersubjective encounter within an immersive reality on the lake, at the Bains des Pâquis pier. This artistic performance invites to both an individual and collective reflection, and to a discussion with the attending scientists
This transdisciplinary work, supported by the SFN Agora Program (Swiss National Science Foundation), plays with the mathematical algorithmic of projective consciousness developed by Prof. David Rudrauf, as well as a stage architecture by artist and researcher Isabella Pasqualini, and the “Phonésie”, a performative practice by choreographer, dancer and researcher Anatoli Vlassov.
