Performance 1
Ching Shu Huang,
Prompt: It sucks (?)
"What sucks you here?" is always the first question people ask me.”
“Prompt*: generate an image with a person eating a bunch of snacks, no Asian porn.
“Prompt: a snail migrating 300 centimeters from the edge of a sidewalk to its death in the middle of it."
"Prompt: a plastic bag flies overseas and gets stuck in institutional trouble.”
"Prompt: a vacuum that fell in love with an inflatable thing.”
This project attempts to gather questions of migrated bodies and performs its own process of soothing and homing. It allows playful and foolish attributes to prompt our power of fantasizing a possible future to return to.
*Prompt: An AI Prompt is any form of text, question, information, or coding that communicates to AI what response you're looking for. It is prepared to meet demands and actions that fulfill (or fail) one's fantasies and imaginations.
Performance 2
Jair Jetzehu Montes Rangel
-Oddkin-
A leaf a gourd a shell a net
A bag a sling a sack a bottle
A pot a box a container.
A holder. A recipient.
How to transform a performative space into a container? An embroidery of care, live electronic sound, bodies sharing energies in motion, love, softness, joy, playfulness, transparency, fiction, and fiction, and fiction. A space that holds all the inner worlds present in the space, in order to connect with their complexities.
