A new performance by 2023 CCBT artist fellow contact Gonzo! Based on the group\u2019s extensive research on the theme of skin, the performance enables vicarious experiences of physical contact. Performers and audiences share sensations through the interface of the skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Binta, entrance to the skinland,
Pain pulls everyone in.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My binta, your binta\/\/ lol\u2014roars from the skinland is the project contact Gonzo is developing as one of the 2023 CCBT artist fellows, exploring how the skin works from a wide range of perspectives to create a new performance.

In the project, contact Gonzo, whose unique performance-oriented practice investigates the nature of physical contact and responses generated by instances of contact, has undertaken research into skin, with a focus on its function as a sensory organ that capable of receiving minute amounts of external information, and as an interface that sends out information.

The project seeks to connect these skin functions to a performance in which audiences not only watch the sensations of pain and physical contact felt by the members of contact Gonzo, but also experience (and thus, share) them in a contactless way through their own skin.

The performers wear specially produced devices that convert data from physical contact and speed and pressure into electrical signals. This hyper-amplifies the sensations and physical experience that the contact Gonzo members receive and send through their skin. These are then diffused as sound pressure by eight massive woofers in the venue, appealing to audiences not only visually but also physically.

Enjoy a literally tingly, stinging experience with your whole body of contact Gonzo\u2019s unique interpretation of shared sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audience Warning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

– The performance features continual loud, low-frequency sound exceeding 100 decibels from eight woofers. This is a similar volume to the sound of a car horn under an overpass. The low-frequency sounds also produce vibrations akin to being in close proximity to a performance by Japanese taiko drums. As such, the performance is not recommended for those with heart conditions, anyone with a pacemaker, pregnant women, young children, or others concerned about the performance\u2019s effect on their body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-The performance will be filmed and photographed, which may include members of the audience. Photographs and video footage of the performance will be used by the organizers as a record of the event and for publicity purposes. In addition, they may appear on the websites and social media of contact Gonzo as well as of media organizations covering the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
