Feed Lack Loop – Micheál O'Connell
Thursday 6th March 2007
Performance and Artist’s Talk with Q&A
At: Lighthouse
Feed Lack Loop arose out of experiments with the idea of Feedback. Using a live performer and an Avatar in the Online World Second Life, Micheál O’Connell inquires whether the concept of interactivity, so lauded in contemporary culture, is about Empowerment or possibly leads to its opposite: Control. Also the liveliness, or lack of it, in virtual space is brought into question.
The event was situated in two spaces simultaneously, Ars Virtua Gallery in Second Life and as a live projection and performance at Lighthouse.
Collaborators on the project were:
-Ars Virtua Director: Rubaiyat Shatner (a.k.a. James Morgan)
-Artist and Grey Area Curator Daniel Pryde-Jarman
-Film Director and Script Writer: Partho Sen-Gupta
-Performer: Naughty the Clown (a.k.a. Dave Thompson)
-Lighthouse Head of Media Arts: Jamie Wyld
O’Connell asked the audienceyou to “Bear in mind that this could all change, change utterly, before 6th March. And probably will. Feel free to steal the idea”.
For further information, read the artist’s statement.
