MINU _ festival for expanded music | Materize | 30.11 17.00 & 20.00 | Dansekapellet.
The interdisciplinary performance Materize interweaves sound, movement and space. The performers play the wearable electronic instrument Hreyfð, which makes sound with gestures using feedback and sensors. Thus, the performers are simultaneously dancers, musicians and a sound system.
The instrument Hreyfð symbolises the transition of technology merging with the human body - a progression humanity rapidly approaches. The development of intelligent technology is primarily focused on technicality, while its effects on compassion, care and interpersonal connections tend to be forgotten. What happens when technology becomes human? Can technology have an intimate emotional relationship with a human? The title Materize refers to the word "matter" and the formation of the intangible, as well as the Latin word "mater", meaning mother. But who is the mother of technology, and who will care for her? And what happens when compassion is forgotten in technological development?
