" Predictable Lab " has been developed as a response to the work "The Solution
Between Two Possibilities - Predictor " by Sophia Kosmaoglou. The "Predictable
Lab" performance refers to the anulment of indeterminism. It addresses the possibility
of the outcomes on an operating table, where, instead of natural possibilities
in physical space we have artificial possibilities in digital space. What appears
to occur, and what actually occurs are not identical. Are we able to realise
the body beyond its relationship with machines, or is the "human with machine"
synthesis unavoidable? If we assume that by transferring horror to machines,
we disclaim it, the objective of this performance was to fabricate a 'reality'
rather than an inquiry.
On the operating table two mice are being sewn together by the performer. This operation is conducted through videoglasses which are connected to a camera focused on the mice. The audience can simultaneously watch the operation as well as the video image of it through an LCD screen. Behind the operator there is a projected large-scale 3D computer image of her hands sewing in digital space.
DISCLAIMER : Legal procedures and precautions
for the use of dead animals were ensured.
