Untitled ARSEO Project #8217: Non-Physical Artworks (Performance/Live Art)

Non-Physical Artworks (Performance/live art)

DESCRIPTION:

Audio segments are to be selected by a) An ARSEO operative b) external artistic collaborator.
The nature of these audio segments is solely at the choice of the active subject, some examples of audio segments could include:

1. A field at sunset 2. The sound of the crowd 3. Assorted heartbeats at varying rates; at rest, at panic and on the point of love 4. A room after you have left.

It is suggested that the external artistic collaborator (EAC) should be scoured from the area of artistic endeavour referred to as ‘Performance’ or ‘Live Art’. The reason for this is to request the EAC to supply audio segments from their work into this project.

Once these segments have been collected, the main part of the project can begin. For this we will need a volunteer subject, this subject will be supplied with the audio segments in a playback format of their choice.

The subject/volunteer will be then requested to playback these audio segments during a period of unconsciousness (sleep). It is hope that the audio segments will stimulate the subconscious in a way that they would ‘dream’ a performance.

Thereby creating a unique non-physical artwork which exists fundamentally within the mind of the volunteer/subjects mind. Though the volunteer/subject can recount their experience.

There are options where the volunteer/subject is unaware of the exposure to audio segments, this is to developed at an later date.
