A Longing for Surrendering

A longing for surrendering, is an immersive multimedia installation that explores embodied ecological thought and the intra-relationality between human and more-than-human ecosystems. Within a postnatural premonitory ‘cave of desires’, this installation charts inaccurate, disorientating and fractal narrative(s) reflecting upon the relation between the ’working body’, coral reefs and systemic (natural) anxiety. A longing for surrendering poetically translates natural phenomena and interdependent ecosystems into an otherworldly and bodily environment, while proposing a luscious multi-sensorial (re)discovery of polyphonic sound/land/scapes. The work is assembled toward shape-shifting and intimate encounterings, in which fragility, speculation and touch are welcome. The audience is encouraged to explore the installation and through touching, to be ‘in touch’.

Lullaby for a Slow Apocalypse

It is inviting despite its emptiness...
...warm wind blowing...
...wind chimes sounding through the space.
Colors and textures dance and dabble the space.
A glistening and smokey cloud hangs above our heads.
Immerse yourself in this barren landscape,
they’re images of our past world.
***
Inspired by an article by Katerina Sidorova, Lullaby for a Slow Apocalypse questions the lore, literature, and eyes through which we predict the end of the world. What if the current depiction of our end as a singular event, fiery and full of violence is wrong? What if the apocalypse is not a singular dramatic event but rather a glacial paced change? What if we reframe the apocalypse from the matriarchal perspective? What if it's soft, warm, gentle? Yes it can still be scary but we can be comforted on the journey.
What we need is a Lullaby for the Slow Apocalypse.

HUM (an/other)

HUM (an/other) is an immersive participatory installation expanding listening through touch and artificial intelligence. A machine learning system reacting to visitors processes the artist's voice.
Visitors are invited to place a custom made tactile transducer on their own bodies, merging themselves with a hybrid organism. HUM (an/other) is presented in collaboration with Das Leben van Haverkamp.

The butterfly effect

The Butterfly Effect is an installation that connects with all our senses to make intimate acquaintance with an entity from outer space: a 4.5 billion-year-old fragment of rock, to be precise. It was traveling through the universe when it hit our atmosphere, became a shooting star, and fell to earth as a meteorite. The installation thus provides a physical encounter with geography that is many light years removed from human life.
A variety of techniques are used to translate the various forms of scientific analysis applied to meteorites into sensory experiences, with light, sound, smell and video revealing all that’s going on beneath the surface of the rock. The viewer becomes a co-traveler on this meteorite’s cosmic journey.
The accompanying website provides further information about the making of the installation, with scientific data becoming sensory human experiences.

(e)motional charting

As a reaction to the current macro-politics of post-colonial society and the technocracy in place, this project departures from the feeling of displacement. Aligned with eco-feminist ecological thought, the urgency of this project lays upon repurpose tools from within digital culture and the technologies at hand to comprehend and be in favour of a vulnerable environment, while facilitating ecological and body awareness within an artistic research framework.
(e)motional charting is a research upon multimedia cinematic landscapes, both digital and physical. Departing from sculptural ecosystems (e)motional charting repurpose mapping to prompt new augmented (immersive) realities to facilitate spaces for speculation .

(e)motional charting - Prelude

(e)motional charting - Prelude, is a first iteration of an essayistic documentary research on mapping (micro) bodily-landscapes as subjectivities, in search for regenerative eco-systems. It proposes a future world where you are invited ‘to look around, inhale all the way, expand and contract rhythmically until becoming a soft, sweaty rock, insides out, flirting face off in the flowering coloured lights’. By combining imageries through the poetics of the cinematic gaze, textuality and sound, this trans-material and trans-physical work hopes to trigger a psychosomatic experience based, with different dynamics of desire.
This multi-screen composition is scored in an iterative circling as a methodology for displacement. Combined with an almost forensic mapping of matter, (e)motional charting soundscape is translated from the ecosystem’s data, rendered by colour temperature, position and opacity, and engages with more-than-human intra-action (s) through generating sound.

N0-ONE SHOW

In the age of A.I. with communicating internet bots, algorithms leading our search engines and heavily influencing our access to information and world’s view, is a performer still an essential part of the performance?
No-One Show is partly a 360° film, and partly a live performance. The film is a completely immersive experience, viewed through VR headset and headphones. After that there is a live interactive part performed with the same actor, who urges the audience to take off their VR headset and headphones and, through various activities with each other, make people connect on a basic level.

Humor Vítreo

Humor Vítreo is an audiovisual performance based on the work Strata from Deanna Sirlin.
Taking the 22 stained glass panels made by Deanna Sirlin specifically for the gallery building, Tatiana Rosa created a software that translates the visual content of these stained glass panels to electronic sounds. This translation happens throughout the performance while the musicians interpret and react to this translation with their instruments.
In the end a 23rd digital panel is generated by using the same platform, this time to translate the sound of the one-hour performance to a visual representation.

Elephant in the Room

This one-woman show tells the story of desires for revenge, justice and how to be a good person. Eva Layla goes into battle with her wolf like a modern little red riding hood. In the fairy tale, the hunter kills the wolf, but what does Eva Layla do?

QueerAble In/stabilities

Subjectivities undergo processes of in/stability with the norm body, the norm movement, the norm behaviour, the norm morals (…). A process continuously reinforced by the surveillance of the gaze. QueerAble in/stabilities is a performative encounter in which other embodiments are transformed into sound through a wireless electroacoustic interface assembled to the body.
Resonance becomes agency when the movement of a marginalised embodiment is translated into sound. Through amplification of a metal acoustic resonator, and its live electronic manipulation, the work engages continuous flows of resonance. Biometric data gives the interface another dimension by altering the produced sound in relation to the proximity of other bodies.
The uttered composition of several sonic textural layers, results from the dialogic relation between embodiment, space, voice and other bodies

Lurings

Lurings is a hybrid installation weaving through the forms of movement, puppetry, choreographic objects, and live electronics. With the accentuated need to connect within the imposed limitations of today’s world, this installation offers a way of distance participation.
A series of composed objects are suspended with strings in space and interact with an object on the floor creating a 3rd affect. Every movement of the string produces pre-curated electronic sounds. These objects are activated from the other end of the string from a distance by the audience, creating a rhythmic play on sensorial qualities with visuals and sounds.

Embodying Rib

Embodying RIB is a series of open-studio presentations that explores the acoustic possibilities of the Rib building.
Taking as a starting point the aerodynamic connection between the Dutch fluyt, a17th-century cargo ship, and the flute, the potential flute acoustic of the Rib building was explored by amplifying and manipulating the wind frequencies in and around the building itself and bridging these elements with the sound world of the Rotterdam harbour.
In this journey Tatiana explores the sound sources offered by Rib by means of recording and transforming the soundscape of the building itself and its surrounding space as well as explores how to produce new sounds with what the building has to offer.
Having in mind the geographical context of the space, great part of this research connects with the sound of the wind and how that can be transposed to breath, pipes and flutes.
This performance focuses on Rib’s intrinsic and extrinsic qualities as an instrument in itself and the relationship established between the space and a human body.

Promises

Promises is an invitation to take a closer look at promises as game-changers in our individual and collective takes on life.
Also, it offers a different perspective to the usual meaning of the word, or so to say, an extended one
promise as the intertwining of faith and desire, a formula
[promise = desire + faith)]
we use to cope with things we can the fully grass.
This performance involves interactions between performers and projections presenting other nuances of the performers, other promises,
other characters and their probable intersection and juxtaposition.
Their blurry physical and discursive realities
/ break /
and reconstruct constantly,
emerging and shifting in a quest for apparent stability.

Strange Smoke Over my Skin

Strange Smoke Over My Skin is a multimedia choreographed performance that explores the dynamics of power and silenced bodies in political spaces such as the setting of a traditional music ensemble. Sound, body movement, light and shadow are sculpted together in a multi-sensorial project where an immersive audiovisual environment is set in a pitch-dark concert hall.

Zelle

It is winter. A woman is found alone in a small hut high up in the mountains. She is suspected of having killed her children. The interrogator questions the woman and in doing so, receives no answers, leading her instead to reflect on her own state of mind. As time passes, the fog thickens and clarity dissipates as it becomes harder and harder to find what was never lost.
A mind in a body in a room in a story in a mind in a body in the world. One by one, the layers fall away in a ritual of unravelling and we are immersed in darkness, in light, in sky, as we follow the transformative power of letting go of the need for answers to our questions.
What is it called, to be in a place without meaning, without symbols, where we are not able to project ourselves or find our own image reflected in the gaze of others? When the old rituals only keep us in purgatorial enclosures and we are left to wonder a landscape of the contradictory voices of our own mind with only molecules of memory to form any sense of reality? What is this called? Perhaps there is a word for this in a language I do not speak? ZELLE is an expression of this state of being, in a language of music for the ears of the skin. It is an invitation to travel together beyond darkness, to the limits of the seeable, the hearable and the comprehensible.

Zamenhof Project - Breaking the Codes

Breaking the Codes: Zamenhof Project, by the young music theater maker Jerzy Bielski, is a music theater project inspired by the ideas and the life of Ludwik Zamenhof, the creator of the universal language Esperanto and promoter of world peace.
The international cast, consisting of actors, musicians and dancers who speak seven languages between them, engage the audience in an exploration of communication (or miscommunication) and language. And the audience will not stay seated the whole time, but will be free to discover the space and installations together with the performers.

Sea-Pea-Elle was formed in Conservatorium van Amsterdam were the members of the group did their master studies and chose the specialisation direction Profile Contemporary Music. Over the years 2015-2017 they co-created four big productions that solidified them as a group. Their performances have been seen on the main stage of Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ and Splendor in Amsterdam, Amsterdam BlueNote and Theaterzaal of CvA.

What is communication? Movement, text, voice, body language, touch, sender, receiver, channel, coding, decoding. Reaching a mutual understanding. We all have a desperate desire to share, to be heard and understood. To not be alone. From the impotence of communication, Unmute narrates the journey of a body eager to communicate with the outside world and the learning experience acquired from interacting with different others in the process of realising how to be heard.

"Every sound is born out of silence. Dies back into silence. Enduring its life spent is surrounded by silence. Silence enable the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but un-manifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, every word. […] just as no sound can exist without silence, nothing can exist without no thing. Without the empty space that enables it to be. Everybody pays attention to the things in the space, but who pays attention to space it self?" E. Tolle
