Description

His solo performance, an original production for the exhibition »New Sensorium«, aims to eliminate the boundaries of subject / object.Mirai Moriyama will wear a membrane, which represents an existing operating system (OS). It dries and peels off as a result of his intense body movements, as if a newly uploaded operating system conflicted with the existing settings. The sound piece accompanying the performance deconstructs the name of the performer into the syllables MO-RI-YA-MA-MI-RA-I, adding a dadaistic gesture to the performance.
