There he was, gone.
How do we piece together a story like this one? A mystery. The title offers more questions than answers. There he was, gone. Where is there? Who is he? Where has he gone? How is this sentence even possible? There he was, not there. As if "he" is in two places and in no place, both at once. The once of "once upon a time." This story has to do with time. This story has to do with place. That much is clear. We take time to look around the story space. What do we see? A corner of a map. An abstraction of a place too detailed to place, unless the places it names are already familiar. Is this a local story then? For locals, between locals… if we do not know the answer to this question, then we are not local. We seem to have stumbled upon an ongoing conversation. Listen. A dialogue of sorts. It's too late. An argument, even. One interlocutor instigates. Can't you feel anything? The other obfuscates. It's only the spring squalls over the bay. All that's not said between these two hangs in a heavy mist, a sea fret low over a small fishing boat turned broadside to a pack of hump-backed slick black rocks. This story is fishing inshore.

Baby Work
BABY WORK is the 3rd edition of Cheang's LOCKER BABY PROJECT which consist of:
BABY PLAY (2001, NTT[ICC], Tokyo) and BABY LOVE (2005, Palais de Tokyo, Paris).
The Locker Baby project conceived in 2001 reflects a time when bioscience is accused
of out of control and scifi fantasia brings forward the future. Deriving from Ryu
Murakami's noted novel Coin Locker Babies (1980) of post-war Japan , the Locker Baby
Project further contests the mother’s heart beats that are so desired for clone babies
born out of lockers. A fictional scenario set in 2030 - the transnational DPT (DollyPolly
Transgency) produces and engages clone locker babies in negotiating human "Memory"
and "Emotion”. The clone baby holds the key to retrieve the networked inter-sphere of
ME-data embedded in a playfield of sonic imagery triggered only by human interaction.
In BABY PLAY, an oversized baby football field with clone baby players; in BABY LOVE, a
ride in 6 motorized fairground teacups with love song remixed by clone babies; in BABYElisabeth Nesheim - 16.08.2012 - 16:09

B A C K L I T
B A C K L I T seeks to invite the recombination of word and image from translocal communities of conversants on diverse e-list servers, Facebook, and Twitter. Members of list‐servers are asked to send both an image and a text of no more than 140 characters to performer, and to do so in response to thought processes/actions given rise to by the phrase "Remediating the Social". The performer will recombine those elements. The piece itself is simple, complexity will be generated by the volume of submissions.

Borderline
Borderline is a performative piece concerned with time-based and improvisational action, in which two participants interact together within an audio-visual environment to gain a sense of the project’s latent narrative identities. Borderline will re-deploy VJ software technologies (using MIDI with MAX-MSP) to develop a dual interaction experience that uses hand-based gesture (via two graphic tablets and their pens) instead of the established hyperlink model. This will help foster a ‘computer system as instrument’ analogy in which the participants’ can ‘improvise’ ‘play’ or ‘perform’ set of narrative dualities. An often-levied criticism of VJ output is its preference for visual abstraction over content (Amerika 2005). In terms of the narrative, Leishman will both develop a new bank of non-abstract imagery, audio and animation to convey the theme of dualism. This will be based on research into borderline personality disorder (visualizing the problems of disassociation and hysteria through image, movement and narrative structure).

Etymon / Encarnación
The opening performance in “Language to Cover a Wall” is about the word made flesh: Glazier reads his poem “Etymon / Encarnación” while a young woman dances to the rhythms of his voice. The words juxtaposed in the title both gesture towards primeval origins of language: etymon refers to the origins of words, while encarnación is about the immaterial gaining a body. And we can’t help but notice the bodies on stage: Glazier sitting in a chair, reading his poem engrossed in the words on the page, gently swaying like José Feliciano. The contrast of a young female dancer in a white dress, interpreting lines of sounded breath with her body, bending her articulations with an agility matched only by the poet’s vocal articulation of the poem.
Poetry: Loss Pequeño Glazier (“Etymon / Encarnación”)

The World As Yours
This performance is about circularity: counterclockwise rotation of letters and words around a central axis on screen, dancers enacting different kinds of spins and gyrating movements focused around a globe. Each concentric line rotates at different speeds, aligning the letters from different lines to generate intriguing combinations. As the performance progresses, the word rotation gradually speeds up until the words become a rapid stream, suggesting an acceleration of time. The dancer’s movements speed up as well, as their playful interactions with the globe become increasingly frantic yet gentle, much like the music by The Kronos Quartet.
Choreography: Kerry Ring
Poetry: Loss Pequeño Glazier
Music: “White Man Sleeps” composed by Kevin Volans,
Performed by The Kronos Quartet
Dancers: Julia Tedesco, Ellie Sanna, Meghan Starnes(Source: Leonardo Flores, I ♥ E-Poetry)

Do Not Forget It
This performance of Alferi’s 2002 cinépoème “Ne l’oublié pas” arranges three lines of poetry that change at different rates (the last one doesn’t change) to create different phrase combinations that lead to the same conclusion. The result appears to be combinatorial, but because the medium is video, there is actually an unvarying sequence, so it evokes how a multiplicity of experiences and rapid sensory information enters the frail storage medium that is memory.
The dancers move in ways that evoke the process of creating memories and attempting to keep them. Their dance leads to poses and pauses, some of which contain reminders of where thoughts are stored. The use of a lead dancer is an important strategy in the performance underscores an intuition to be found in Alferi’s video poem: that variation is memorable. Note how with her distinct costume and dance, framed by the other dancers moving in recurring poses, the lead dancer captures and commands attention, pulling together the fragmented performances into a coherent experience.
