Fri 17.00 to 00.00 & Sat 09.00 to 17.00 | Interactive Installation - A Room for a Pinoleptic, Nayan Kulkarni
This installation invites the audience to engage directly with the anti-circadian effects of surveillance systems, the logics of hand-held personal live broadcast technologies, artificial light and media imaging systems. Caught in the spatial play between projection, image production and performance, we become complicit in the spectacle of media driven urbanism, enjoying the moments when we only appear to have an effect.
Fri 17.00 to 00.00 & Sat 09.00 to 17.00 | Interactive Installation - Beholder - United Visual Artists, 2019, VR Commissioned by BOM
Beholder continues UVA’s investigations into our perception of time and the relativity of our experiences. It centres around the wonder of everyday phenomena as seen through autistic perspectives, inviting us to re-evaluate our perception of beauty.
Fri 18.00 to 19.00 | Sound Piece - Composition 01, Ronnie Deelen & Piotr Ceglarek
Defining a time system based on self-set rules, Ronnie & Piotr endeavour to deprive the listener of a sense of time. Their sound work slowly evolves, its repetition creating complex layered structures & leaving listeners to tune into their own association with sound and sense of rhythm.
Fri 19.30 to 20.00 & Sat 14.00 to 14.30 | Rhythm Singing Workshop - Where’s The Funk? Yaprak Goker
Where’s The Funk? invites you to become co-producers of the performance, using ‘vocal painting’ signs developed by Professor Jim Daus Hjernøe at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark to improve your sense of rhythm and groove.
While exploring how repetition becomes rhythm, the workshop examines how time is perceived as a web of collective interactions interwoven with rhythms. Designed for all ages, it offers an alternative language spoken by the shared experience. Taking playfulness and improvisation as fundamental characteristics, this performance asks us to be in tune with the present moment and to reconsider our relationship with each other and the world around us. The only rule you need to know is that if you’re in the room, you’re in the band!
Fri 21.00 to 21.30 | Dance Performance, Designing Time, Laura Lorenzi with sound by Ronnie Deelen & Piotr Ceglarek
This performance questions the extent to which we are able to listen to our bodies. Can we rediscover ways to allow space and time for the processes that are constantly happening inside us? Using improvisation as a paradigm for circadian rhythm, this performance is governed by bodily desires: with movement in fits and starts, rather than according to a predetermined structure.
Sat 15.00 to 16.00 | Sleep Yourself Lean and Sexy – schraefel m.c.
Recent research has shown that when we lose just one hour of sleep we start to appear repulsive to others: literally. Our physiology also lets us know that when we don’t get enough sleep we not only can’t lose weight, but stay in a state of stress. We also make mistakes, but unlike our rested colleagues, who make the same number of mistakes, we don’t notice or correct them. So, just a little lack of sleep seems to leave us mean, ugly, weak and less smart.
There is, however, an upside. That’s our body actually trying to take care of us. In this talk we’re going to look at a few key processes to explore how to help tune our bodies to let us sleep better, feel better and get more out of the daytime. You’ll also leave with both a new understanding of how your body works and how to test and tune in what you are already doing. So basically, you can be more you, more of the time.
