"The Paradox of Don't": sexuality at the root of human motivation. A sonic, textual and visual space that poses questions about how do we relate to each other and the world. What is the emotional architecture of this process of relating? When does power turn into domination and in what circumstances a lovely person desires its own submission? How much fake sugar is needed to cover up one's depression and how powerful are visual strategies for ideologies of capitalistic commodification so that one stops seeing another human being the way it is? Look, listen, see and hear -- a hybrid performance which includes real-time video, pressure sensors, choreography and electronic music somewhere between electropunk, triphop and breaks.
"Frozen images": The process of freezing is a break between movements. As such, the structure of the concert, perforated with suspensions – breaks between points, is an emergence of a performance of frozen images, full of texts, contemporary electronic rhythms, exasperated guitars, noisy oscillations, and hypnotic bass lines. Along with the performers’ actions, tactile interfaces, and moving pictures, the performance raises questions about hypersexualisation and pornification, fetishisation in consumerism, mechanisms of the image and visual culture, idealisation of love, and the meaning of art and culture. Movement, text, and frozen images open up in their primary way precisely based on contemporary organised noise. The music, ambivalently contextualised through the video image and movement, stretches out to the body and its vibration, rational and affective. Frozen images get broken by the vibration of the word and the moving of the actual flesh/body in all its resistance.
Wanda's first appearance was in a performance Ways of Love with the reappropriation of the song "You Don't Own Me" rendered into a punk-electro reinvention where she provided screamy yet powerful vocal intervention. In the process of improvisation on home-grown granulators in Pure Data she displayed subtle sensibility to delicate sounds dispersed in time. All this was the reason for inevitable further collaboration with Nova deViator who has been in and out of the Slovenian electronic and noise "scene" for more than a decade. His music/noise ranges from electronic break beats to noise drones. This urban-born yet dweller of the deep woods has succeeded again and again to provide unpredictably hard-to-find unstable output. You can find them on the internets.
