In(SITE): Endometric presented by The Center for Aesthetic Research-C.A.R.

Endometric: Inner world building and the birth of a collective media—presented by The Center for Aesthetic Research (CAR)

Endometric is a multimedia performance that focuses on the concious manifestation of our deep and sometimes unknown inner worlds. We will explore how the practice of externalizing our inner world can be utilized as an imaginative gestures to create and interact with media. Using a multimedia system that includes live sound, image processing, video synthesis, dance, and drawing, a structure is created that allows for spontaneous investigation into how our internal lives are constructed and expressed.

The performance presupposes that our inner worlds are vast and autonomous landscapes, which are just as “real” as the external, material world. These worlds have both always existed and are constantly being constructed. Emerging from movement, sound, and video, we undertake the vulnerable and bittersweet task of passing out inner world experience from the private to the public, thus completing a transfer from thoughts and feelings to external media. Once externalized and witnessed by others, our inner lives fade away, forever changed by the effects of expectation and validation, only to reemerge as artistic media.

Endometric features the following artists:

Kevin Harris (video synthesis and sound)
Chad Eivins (image processing)
Kalliope Brown (movement and performance)
Maureen Keaveny (sound)
Alexis Taylor (movement and performance)
Bret Schneider (sound)

This event is FREE and open to the public—no RSVP is encouraged. Seating is first come, first served.
