The powers that surveil society are invisible to the surveilled. These powers are abstract and self-regulating - applied from all angles. The boundaries between observation and surveillance become blurred. Artists and audience are immersed in a contemporary and explicit panopticon.
The traditional observation tower is replaced by digital devices which recreate a closed, guarded environment, resulting in a recursive relationship between surveillance and supervision.
We are the observers observing ourselves.
The artists welcome the audience to partake in a transdisciplinary experience and are invited to notice the imperceptible, become aware of what is ignored, and recognize where they place their attention.
Through movement, interconnected perception and audio-visual elements, the performers create an atmosphere in which they may temporarily dissolve their personal individuality, and become part of a newly emergent, disciplinary organism, which exists as a set of relations to one another, at the intersection between art and technology.
