Demotic – Antoinette LaFarge and Robert AllenJuly 29-31, 2004 “Demotic” by Antoinette LaFarge and Robert Allen
All performances at 10pm EST (7pm PST) How do we best portray the multiplicity underlying the American experience? In “Demotic,” artists Antoinette LaFarge and Robert Allen harness the Internet and the stage to create a performance work exploring American Memory. Made possible through the Beall Center’s high speed connectivity, the performance features a single live actor who draws on an ensemble of sound artists, dispersed performers, avatars, and the everyday experience of online citizens. From this tour-de-force improvisation emerges both a complex texture of language, sound, and music and a contemporary national anthem. Live performances will take place at the Beall Center for Art and Technology, Irvine, CA. Admission is free but seating is limited. Reservations are suggested (949) 824-4339 All performances of “Demotic” will be webcast live via RealAudio at this address http://media.nacs.uci.edu:8080/ramgen/encoder/demotic.rm Co creators: Antoinette LaFarge + Robert Allen |
