1. (Techno)dispositifs in Contemporary Art Practice: Fifty-year Theater Performance Noordung 1995-2045 by Dragan Živadinov

   Noordung, a 50-year theatre projectile, created by Dragan Živadinov and his collaborators, is a complex, long-term research project which saw its official start on April 20, 1995 at 10 pm with its first performance which is to have been followed by five more, performed every 10 years (2005 - 2015 – 2025 – 2035 - ) on the same day at the same time with the same actors by the year 2045. The essential part of the performance is that it includes the process of replacing the bodies of those actors who shall die in the meantime with remote-controlled technological abstracts. In the first phase of the 50-year process, the bodies of dead actors shall be replaced with remote-controlled sign which shall substitute an actor in their mise-en-scéne and shall also contain software for translating their speech into music – when an actress dies, her speech shall be translated into melody, whereas actors’ speech shall be translated into rhythm.
