String Figures - Chapter One - Sabotage Story (unknot opening)

https://vimeo.com/223058558

Indigenous electronic music producer, Zoë Mc Pherson (Empty Taxi), binds a series of compositions on her debut album STRING FIGURES.
Working in collaboration with multimedia visual artist, Alessandra Leone, STRING FIGURES is an audiovisual work in 7 chapters.
Taking inspiration from the continuous weaving of Cat's-Cradle, Zoë Mc Pherson makes tactile meditations associated with a certain twist of the string. Each chapter explores a symbolic axis around which liminal transformations occur. From the unknotting of the opening to the final transmission, the movements of STRING FIGURES coil around a sonic memory.

An audiovisual piece feat. concept and music by Zoë Mc Pherson, film by Alessandra Leone.

Sabotage Story - ( unknot opening ) 

THÆTA is the third performance of StratoFyzika’s Shadows Trilogy. With new collaborations in sound and interactivity (sensors building, coding), the concept still steeped in the subconscious realms and dealing with the ego: the dark and light shadow aspects of self (as in the first two parts of the trilogy) but also on the edge of the conscious, waking self; visions on the edge of sleep, whispy light shadows, multi-dimensional geometric objects, sudden sound as if from the halls of a mind in a dream state. 
This liminal zone is a state referred to as Hypnogogia. 

THÆTA embodies this borderland state. 

All merge onto the stage, interactively; body dynamics, auditory sensations and visuals function as the culmination of parts into one constellation in live performance.

THÆTA

Created in collaboration with Lisbon-based dancer/choreographer Daria Kaufman, Phi is a new audiovisual dance performance inspired by the slowly changing, repetitive structures of minimalist music, and their incremental alteration of perception. Phi is also StratoFyzika's newest performance work to delve into the unique crossings between movement, sound, and light. The piece unfolds amidst a lighting installation that continually phases between light and shadow, orbiting the dancers' bodies, alternately illuminating and obscuring. Meanwhile, a spatial sound pool emits poly-rhythmic, electronic soundscapes that traverse space through a 4-channel system. All these elements synthesize into a visceral, striking, cross-sensory performance. 


Φ is currently a work in progress, that has been until now developed over two residencies:
Cultivamos Cultura in São Luis (PT) - May 2016 
dance/tech residency, sponsored by Troika Tronix, at Lake Studios Berlin - July 2016

Φ was performed on 28th and 29th July 2016 at UferStudios Berlin
