Some people will do anything to keep themselves from being moved (original) (raw)

Abstract

Who not will else let slip, a fist raised afore a fire? A dim shape, an in-between light, a tongue too heavy to lift. In other algorithms the pixels are quantized step-wise with error correction after each step. As a continuation of my lecture-performance ‘The state of images’ (How Performance Thinks, London 2012), this talk sits unsteadily at the tipping point between stasis and movement, between feeling and critique, between image and recognition. Drawing on political events, theatrical descriptions, and daily ephemera, I ask, what is it that moves us to act? Like all performances, it is an attempt to hold that within which it is itself held.
