STRATIC live audiovisual performance tackling the postdigital
Exposure of internal processes
By explicitly escaping the formal laptop performance notion, we should consider Andrews’ advice and his discussion on laptop performances through the exposure of processes and the incorporation of physical clues. In this regard, we tried to bring the internal production processes of the S T R A T I C system to be exposed. The devices and processes are made transparent through the machine aesthetics approach and what is happening on the table is perceivable by the audience. The circuit board with pulsating LED, the process of capturing a pulsating light with a camera is revealed to the audience.
The notion of the digital and networks is key to understand the post-digital. We may look beyond the digital through the exposure of its inner machinic processes and behaviors or “an objecthood that incorporates networked digital technologies”. This brings us to reexamine the logic of what is going on in the production and generative side of the project.
