Abstract

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>We approach performance as fundamentally a hybrid situ- ation: that performer and technology are united in a post- phenomenological embrace. </span><span>Light is Loud </span><span>takes this as a starting point: the form of the performer is subsumed into an array of lights that takes the temporal shape of a self- referential text. The loss of the human form in the piece be- comes a critical statement on the ambiguity of hybridity. </span></p><p><span>In a completely darkened space, a figure with some strips of LEDs speaks a short poem overtly on the nature of “loud”. While the title of the piece, </span><span>Light is Loud</span><span>, suggests “daz- zling”, the effect is a meditation on the nature of quiet. </span></p></div></div></div>
