Performer Julie Vulcan and media artist Ashley Scott are the guys behind SQUIDSILO, a performance and technology-based collaboration based in Sydney. RIMA will be confined to a 2×3 metre area (the average size of a solitary cell) that inhabits both the physical and virtual worlds. The piece will explore strategies for survival by poetically re-framing the abject facts behind the effects of solitary confinement and isolation.
Vulcan’s movements will trigger sensors that dispatches a stream of text onto the walls and out to the Twittersphere, while Scott combines live and pre-recorded sound that accentuate time passing and disturbs the space.
