Amy Seiwert / im'ij-re with Frieder Weiss (U.S.A. & Germany): White Noise (World Premiere)

The final performance of the 2010 Festival is a landmark collaborative project between im'ij-re artistic director, choreographer Amy Seiwert and Frieder Weiss of Nuremburg the author of EyeCon and Kalypso, video motion sensing programs especially designed for use with dance, music and computer art. White Noise focuses on the human urge to polarize versus unify. The phrase, "I'm right, you're wrong" paints a black and white worldview caught in duality, where ideas are clung to and value systems point out differences rather than connections. Just as all sound can be canceled out with the presence of white noise, a question will arise as to whether the serene state is transcendent or dismissive.
