CPU (Central Processing Unit)

CPU is a stereoscopic Realtime Performance based on Kafka´s “The Trial” by 1n0ut (Robert Praxmarer, Reinhold Bidner).

The team writes:
In Franz Kafka’s THE TRIAL, 1n0ut found a world full of loops, repeats, instructions and protocols which are familiar parts of every computer programme. This classic text becomes the springboard for a stereoscopic real-time dance theatre piece. The images of the performers are gathered digitally, manipulated and remixed live to plunge an audience each wearing 3D cinema glasses headlong into a thrilling and disturbing illusory world. What steers mankind, what goes, what is lie, what is the logic of the absurd and what the illogicality of reality?

1n0ut is an artist collective that works both collaboratively and individually on a variety of video and interactive art projects with a focus on generating synesthetic experiences. Cross-disciplinary by nature, their approaches reach from a self programmed real-time video montage system based on Robert Praxmarer’s ongoing PhD work to the charming photo stills and composed video works from Reinhold Bidner.
