In today’s media climate, it’s harder than ever to resist a voice designed to make you think it’s your own.
Live cinema visual artist SUE-C and legendary sound collage group Negativland collaborate in a live audio-visual performance about our minds, the world we live in, and the evolving forms of media and technology that orchestrate our perceptions.
Created 100% in real-time using Max/MSP/Jitter, custom video algorithms, live cameras, LED lighting and hundreds of objects manipulated meticulously under a UHD Sony camera. Each show was recorded in Max and combined with documentary footage shot and edited by Ryan Worsley.
The film is compiled from 14 live performances in the US in 2021, including at the Echoplex in Los Angeles, Grey Area in San Francisco, Holocene in Portland, Meow Wolf in Santa Fe and Guild Cinema in Albuquerque.
