SENTICS2.0: the touch of (2022) installation+performance(s) for Comfort Station's Force & Motion ~ SENTICS 2.0 is a process and a processing, an event for re/collection, de/encryption, and re/incorporation of the complex emotional scripts and memories from our digital experience... Memories typed and submitted by the audience are live-encrypted, visualized, and projected into a virtual memorial space, and somatic engagement with elastic bands throughout the space affects the sound felt in the room and the gravity felt in the body... Comfort Station's interior becomes an imaginary AFK social media instance - generating space for digital-self-cultivation, through queer blurring of the 'virtual' and the 'actual', practiced attunement to communal processing, and a generous embrace of the integrity of the avatar. ~ deepest thank yous to @courtneymackedanz for their support in the research, development, and installation of this ever-deepening project and to @nnnnnmery for their genuine curation and support (+swipe through to see Nick performing the instrument~) ~ 📷 by @rubyq.ue
