The Nature of Being – Live cinema performance with Scanner (UK)

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous – Aristotle ‘Parts of Animals’

What transcends our natural world? In digital technology we have the ability to invent and imagine
a multitude of possibilities limited only by the imagination of the creator, but is something lost in this
exploration, are we missing out on a sincere emotive response through the erasure of the real world?

The Nature of Being is a live interchange between artists charting a conversational movement of colour,
music, texture and image. It is a travelogue of invention, taking the romance of the cosmos through a
metaphysical adventure. Sometimes familiar, sometimes ambiguous, this performance transforms and
mutates across the borders of recognition: footsteps become rhythm; wind becomes melody, as cinematic
images reflect, compliment and contrast the soundtrack. Their goal is towards building an emotional
relationship to the projections and sound, a work that seeks a departure from the familiar digital paths,
striking the heart, the soul, and the mind.

The Nature of Being is a performance guided by contemplative sound and image, creating an abstract story
yielding to a state-of-fluxcinematic experience. By use of immersive projections, panoramic views and surround
sound, sensuality is re-imagined, reinterpreted, connecting multiple realities in a multi-angled perspective,
merging and juxtaposing various points of views.

The Nature of Being was premiered at the Contemporary Arts Center in Geneva (Mapping Festival).
And performed in Germany, The Netherlands Spain, Slovenia and United States.
