On 30th May 2021, Distante & Error-43 came together for an original 45-minute real-time audio-visual collaboration played through the installation Nidra's ethereal structure.
It consisted of a journey through the different perspectives we hold of our own body and psyche throughout life. A veteran hippie narrates episodes of his life, travels and quest for meaning in the Middle East and Asia across the 60’s and 70’s and into maturity as a father.
Tracking his story, we journey from the physical to the spiritual, with distinct scales of our existence being analyzed and represented through the manipulation of energy in bytes.
The concept of energy is explored during the performance, and its multiple meanings in language and philosophy are approached.
ENERGY
1590s, "force of expression," from French énergie (16c.)
Late Latin energia, from Greek energeia "activity, action, operation," from energos "active, working," from ergon "work, that which is wrought; business; action".
Used by Aristotle with a sense of "actuality, reality, existence" (opposed to "potential").
Energy, the force that animates machines and souls, impelling us to make our paths through the cosmic maze.
