Particle
Live cinema performance, with D-Fuse
Cities exist on several different levels. Places that we know and live in have been superseded by spaces of flows, webs of connections for communication, exchange and control that have come to transcend the limitations of actual phsyical space. Traditional ideas of territory (spatial as well as ideological) have almost been dissolved in this process, while new centres of power are emerging at the nodal points that regulate the flows of global networks.
Particle alludes to this fragmented reality of everyday life, deconstructing the urban fabric to reveal a city that exists as much in an immaterial web of connections as it does in actual space. Evading the allure of indiscriminate technological utopianism, Particle also probes the faultlines and frictions that arise between the realms of the virtual and that of lived experience.
