From North Carolina to South Korea, commissioned by UNC’s Art Department and Carolina Performing Arts, combines the multimedia performance art of Liz Magic Laser with the choreography of Wendy Osserman. Collaborating for the first time, the mother-daughter duo examines the studied gestures of politicians and the actual events shown on the news. Focusing on internet news, Laser and Osserman look at the effect that posturing and emotional display have on the public’s perception. This performance piece employs live video feeds with green screen effects, repurposing the techniques of news production in order to represent an embodied reception of the news.
New York City dancer, Cori Kresge joins a cast of North Carolina based performers. The development of this piece took place, in part, at UNC-Chapel Hill through a residency hosted by the Art Department. In addition to footage culled from the internet, the performance features excerpts from an interactive event live-streamed from Carolina Performing Arts to the Nam June Paik Art Center (www.njpartcenter.kr) in Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea on September 13, 2014.
