Reorient

Reorient is about…
Reorient is about mylar. It is the mirror, the double, the twin. It camouflages, sucks in, spits out, distorts. It presents a gateway to another world. Mylar makes a lovely evening gown. Silver body paint is nice too.
Reorient is about popping. Flashing. It’s synaptic. Operating on the thresholds of perception.
Reorient is about big video. It is immersive and dimensional. It is something you enter. The silhouette is critical to the video at Reorient. That is the participant’s way of projecting themselves into a simulated world.
Reorient is about breaking down. When is something something? It’s about pattern recognition. Reorient is particular. It’s about lots of little things flying around in a big world, it’s about underlying structures and rules. It is a game.
Reorient is about comfort. It’s about making a place for people to sit/lie.
Reorient is a vehicle. It takes you places.
Reorient is about domes. Its about shelter and communion.
Reorient is about chaos. Its about opposites and flip sides. Its multiple perspectives at once.

Second renaissance

This is a history of the world before the Matrix was created. The Second Renaissance is the most powerful 20 minute animated story I have ever seen. The powerful imagery shocked, horrified, and forever changed me after my initial viewing. Images like the robotic horse rider storming across the nuclear battlefield or the televised execution of robot protesters show us a future that is terrible to behold. Second Renaissance brings about a new emotion towards the machines, sympathy. In the first Matrix movie, our only view of the machine’s personality is through Agent Smith. His short efficient speeches don’t invoke much sympathy for the robotic plight. Second Renaissance shows us that we were the ones who screwed up and we paid for it with our souls.
