from backwards towards a point: chamber music V [2000​-​2002] by Lindsay Vickery

about

your sky is filled with billboards of the sky [2002] was developed for performance at the Real, Electronic and Virtual Instruments (REV) festival at the Brisbane Powerhouse in April 02. At the centre of the work is the MIBURI-clad performer interactively controlling all sound and video from her movements. (The MIBURI is a body-suit fitted with electronic sensors - like wearing an electronic keyboard.) The dancer's gestures are translated in real-time by the MIBURI's sensors to control all of the musical elements you hear and also 'mix' the video component including a 'live' camera feed of the performance itself.

Thematically, your sky... is a sibling work to my song cycle songs of [virtual] love+war [1998]: perhaps a more abstract exploration of the same themes of identity in the context of a world increasingly comprised of simulated experiences. In this work the performer exists in a loop in which she is called upon to respond authentically to an environment almost entirely under her own control. This second version of the work was developed in collaboration with dancer Danielle Micich.
