Description Can your data body keep a secret? From the moment we are born, a cyber composite of ourselves begins to take shape, growing stronger with each credit card transaction, email written and prescription filled. This data body carries stains that are harder to clean than mud or sin. Post 9/11, we’ve come to accept, allow and even encourage these subtle and unseen forms of surveillance. New York-based performance ensemble The Builders Association and multi-disciplinary studio dbox have collaborated to produce a cutting-edge, cross-media performance. Through video technology, shifting worlds are created for the actors to inhabit - environments transform seamlessly, moving from room to room, country to country. Super Vision uses the language and technologies of surveillance itself to create a multi-layered story of life in the digital age. Size up your data body in Super Vision, direct from The Big Apple.
