  (verb)
   
  1 Ant Eye is a way of seeing.
  2 Ant eyes are always on

  comment on entrenched

  4 And I am not alone: Our
  objects hold human
  qualities.
   
  (noun)
   
  1 Ant island is the
  playground where physical
  and philosophical research

  I land
on equal ground, we
  collaborate.

Plastic Shell, inner Printer


2022  |  performance (15 min.) 

The peformance is made with the costumes of the work Printer says NO! The performance was presented at the opening of Dancing with Trouble of Stimuleringsfonds during Dutch Design Week 2022. Also, the performance was presented at The Grey Space in the Middle during museumnacht

The performance visualizes the connection of a printer with a human. It is a magical interpretation of ERROR: the act of disobeying a command. Who's in control?


Performance outlines:
Part 1: Printers stand lifeless in a space. During the performance the printers subtly start moving parts of their outer shell, slowly unfolding themselves. The minimal movements of these objects turn the printers into living creatures. The printers start exploring their surroundings in an animalistic way.

Part 2: After some time of exploring, incognito dansers step - from the side of the audience - into the performance one by one. They are holding a leash and clip the leash to a single printer. When the printer tries to move away, the cord gets taut. The danser will try to move the printer one direction and the printer will try to move the other way. The tension will build up and with some printers get violent, dragging the printer across the floor.
