Man can never say: "I am a bull, a wolf.. ." But he can say: "I am to a woman what the bull is to a cow, I am to another man what the wolf is to the sheep" --Deleuze and Guattari.
It's about relation, not identification. The color red to sound is as sharp timbre to the movement of the body. Like dreams to memory, synesthesia to sensory and epiphany to temporality. Finally we are no one, but a becoming.
Becoming-Chimera is an improvised interdisciplinary-performance that involves live visuals, live electroacoustic/experimental music, soundscapes, dance/movements and new media. The performers experiment and improvise with specific dispositions and qualities either conducted or by aleatoric algorithm. It travels within the Bergsonian sense of time, and Deleuzian notion of becoming, where the creation is constantly in-flux and in process. Likes dreams, like rhizomes, they engulf deep connection between each entities and unfold new dimensions of our reality.
Why does a song, an image, a smell, a touch or a temperature can be so evocative and empowering to you? How much power, affect and contagion are embedded in these memories and sensory? And what if they can speak to each another? In the genesis of our dreams, every moment can be temporal yet perpetual. In a way, every part of memories are improvising and forming unconventional connections, like synesthesia, the boundaries are being challenged and unraveled. In our interdisciplinary collaboration, we are creating an ongoing experimental dialogue with deep intuition, creative technologies as well as phenomenology and multiplicity in order to unfold paths to the undiscovered landscapes.
夢獸：我們得以重組成不知道的什麼
這裡的界線需要跨越，定義需要破解；現象還在進行，維度不斷擴張，沒有獨一絕對，全是變動著的相對；這一分鐘或許於你暫存，下一秒可能於我永恆；當聲音與影像散落在身體，感知將連動而起，再分崩，再重組，又植入記憶，成為嵌合體，成為靈感交合的獸。你說，誰能否定自身之可塑？
Becoming-Chimera的跨界即興展演，讓人為的實驗音像，構成直覺的感官對話，可聞伯格森所稱的主觀時間，可看德勒茲所指的正在生成，旅程無盡開展，朝向未知的聲境和景觀。
你聽，你嗅，你撫觸，你韻動，而我感到無窮無限疊加於我。
我說的是夢，在夢中，我從不阻止即將發生的任何什麼。
