Technological
Dances

Anderson begins her performances by observing technological objects.

She then spreads paint on those objects. Anderson does not paint with a brush but directly with an object coated in paint.

These computers, drones, batteries, VR masks (etc) lead her into an intuitive dance of repetitive movements. Guided by hyper-ventilated breathing, the performer engages in a trance. Paint-coated objects hit the canvas on the ground as a poetic gesture that memorises objects from our Anthropocene era.

Anderson ‘hits’ the ground as a call. A request to open towards an animist dimension of our environment.
