Floating
2016
Ziggurat Project / K.A.I.R. coproduction
dance / installation / video mapping / multi channel sound
A hybrid choreographic installation focusing on sensorial perception. How can we broaden the borders of our sensorial perception in an environment using dance and digital technology instead of blaming the latest for destroying our feeling of mind fullness present ? Our aim is, similarly to floatation-REST (restricted environmental stimulation technique), which nowadays is used for therapy having the goal to drift someone into a deep state of relaxation and realizing this way the disconnection from today’s busy environment., to place the participants in a space deprived of the endless input of sensory experiences coming from the world outside and immerse them into a common physical experience.
This project was born from the artist in residency program organized by K.A.I.R. (Košice Artist in Residence) in the summer of 2016, in which Ziggurat Project was involved in cooperation with two Slovakian artists, Matej Ivan and Miroslav Tóth.
