FWD - BLEED.SIM [Alexander Schubert]

Dear all, I would like to share with you the documentation of the piece BLEED.SIM (NPC Ritual File) - a VR-based Performance Piece. Watch the documentation video here. BLEED.SIM is a cartridge file used for the Telex VR Experience System. It’s part of the „NPC Ritual Files“ extension collection. These simulation (.sim) files contain ritualistic experiences of self disruption and ego dissolution. Turning a human into a non-performable character (NPC) is the shared goal of these experiences. This setting uses the bleeding terminology from gaming culture and applies it onto a VR-based setting and on the concept of agency and identity of the physical body. In this ritual session the performer is given a VR headset and a replica of the physical body and is then offered to alter, dissociate and destroy the virtual body through intoxication and self hurt practice.  Here you find all information and credits for the project. A new and revised live version of Convergence has been performed by Ensemble Resonanz. Additional info. See some first video clips of Angel Death Traps. Additional Info here. Full documentation and release will follow shortly. For the Book "Acoustic Intelligence" I wrote a chapter on Av3ry and Crawlers. The text can also be found here. For the Book "Choreomata" (published by Routledge) I wrote a chapter about Identity Dissolution. The manuscript can also be found here.  Current updates can also be found on instagram.  Thank you for your interest, Alexander Copyright © 2024 Alexander Schubert, All rights reserved.  Alexander Schubert Newsletter  Our mailing address is:  Alexander Schubert Ahornfelder Hamburg 20000 Germany Add us to your address book
