Monument to an Audition, 2021
Metahuman speech here︎︎︎
In collaboration with Tim Tsang, at Automata, 2021Monument to an Audition features a video loop of a Metahuman auditioning for the role of "mother-knight" in a play I wrote and directed called Aftermath. Ironically, in the aftermath of the pandemic, the play was never performed. I sculpted a figure of the "mother knight" astride her horse using organic matter and subsequently composted it in my garden, consecrating the end to a phase of performance work I made in LA from 2007-2021. As a gesture of compassion to AI, The Metahuman was deleted.
Music and soundscore for Monument to an Audition composed by Peter Hernandez (aka Julius Smack). Support for this project was provided by the David Shneer New Yiddish Cultural Grant and by Yiddishkayt
