FLATLAND moments / 2013

FLATLAND MOMENTS

a possible four-dimensional performance installation by Jon R. Skulberg

3 May 2013


Atelier Hotel Pro Forma presents FLATLAND fragments
– a possible four-dimensional performance installation by Jon R. Skulberg

We live in a three dimensional world. Yet, we spent much time within two dimensions, when working on computers and navigating in the city using GPS. We have the ability to understand these dimensions and to navigate within. But, how does this affect our presence in everyday life?

Jon R. Skulberg has reflected on this in his performance installation “FLATLAND moments” – a performance investigating space through movement and sound. Like navigating in everyday life with computers and ours bodies. With a minimal scenography, a precise choreography and an advanced sounddesigned univers Skulberg and his artistic team takes the audience on a spatial journey of discovery.

“FLATLAND moments” shows excerps from FLATLAND, Skulbergs final performance which will be shown in Copenhagen, August 2013.

FLATLAND – the classic sci-fi graphic novel from 1884 by Edwin Abbott Abbott – serves as the inspiration source for Skulberg’s work. Often, the book is referred too, when wonders of the forth dimension has crossed the human mind. In 1884 Abbott Abbott also reflected on dimensions. He described a two dimensional world refered to as Flatland which is occupied by geometric figues. A three dimensional sphere from Spaceland visits Flatland for the hopes of educating the population to understand the third dimension.

FLATLAND MOMENTS
– en mulig firedimensionel performance installation af Jon R. Skulberg

Vi lever i en tredimensionel verden. Til trods for det bruger vi meget tid i en todimensional verden foran vores computere, eller når vi forsøger at finde vej gennem byen via GPS. Vi har muligheden for at forstå disse dimensioner og navigere imellem dem. Men hvordan påvirker det nærværet til os selv og hinanden i hverdagen?

Norske Jon R. Skulberg (1985- ) reflekterer i performancen FLATLAND moments over menneskets forhold til dimensioner. Med en stram scenografi, en præcis koreografi og i et avanceret lyddesignet univers inviterer han og hans kunstneriske hold publikum med på rumlig opdagelsesrejse. Forestillingen undersøger rum gennem bevægelse, dans og lyd, og ved at bruge det flade gulv (2D) og den rummelige krop (3D). Ligesom når vi til hverdag navigerer mellem computer og krop.

D. 3 maj 2013 vises uddrag fra FLATLAND, der vises i sin fulde form i København, august 2013.

FLATLAND er inspireret af den Edwin Abbott Abbotts klassiske sci-fi roman 1884 af samme navn. Ofte er bogen blevet brugt som reference til forståelsen af den fjerde dimension, når mennesket har forsøgt at begribe denne ukendte og måske ikke eksisterende dimension. I bogen beskrives en todimensional verden, beskrevet som Flatland, hvor indbyggerne er todimensionale geometriske figurer. En tredimensional kugle fra Spaceland besøger Flatland, i håbet om at få indbyggerne til at forstå den tredje dimension.
