The Wave

The Wave is a media performance that explores embodiment of avatar, or virtual representation of the physical body. A warrior character is immersed within a subtle virtual environment constructed with two 9’ diameter pools of video – one containing imagery evocative of the sea, and the other representing the sky. The warrior encounters gods, goddesses, enigmas, and archetypes – all of which are her avatars, or reflections, in virtual space. Reflected, refracted, expanded and transformed into virtual dimensions, she becomes a meta-body: an elusive, shape-shifting equation of light, intelligence, rupture, and complexity. This meta-body is both a somatic expression and a body of ideas.
