“A new topography eliminates real space”.
Technologically mediated communication is explored via superimposed, ill-rendered landscapes wrenched from Google Streetview. Four performers react to individual 360° VR videos, describing what they see to the audience, whilst field recordings gleaned remotely from around the world act as a bed for their voices. The heavily stylized title reflects the sound-world – disorientating, tech-ridden and overloaded.
