Memory Table v2: From installation to performance
The Memory Table v2 : mnemonics devise Character-A (yellow) with a side of chance
This research event will comprise an installation / performance followed by a panel discussion on the issues raised by turning a pre-existing installation into a performance based-work. Ian Winters (video), paige starilng sorvillo (movement) and Evelyn Ficarra (sound) will will discuss their work in a panel chaired by Professor Johannes Birringer (Brunel).
We are slowly reverse-engineering Character A from fragmentary evidence found within the habit field of the memory table. In the absence, or a room, we are building a visually and sonically responsive environment whereby to study the permeable, uncertain, contingent and social nature of our own memories as well as the premise that core parts of our identity and relationships are formed in the most quotidian of environments, often by chance.
Our current work on Mnemonics… is the explosion outward/inward of Ian Winters’ original Memory Table installation which was/is: a deceptively simple “social” installation where viewers interacting with an everyday table experience a visual and sonic mirror of their own present-tense experiences merged with table’s fragmentary/re-written “memories” of all the pasts that have transpired at this same table.
Our current work has been graciously supported by Zellerbach Family Foundation, NexMAP / Center for New Music, The MilkBar, plus CROMT and ACCA at the University of Sussex
