Electronic Shamanism
Electronic Shamanism is conceived as an exploration of technological mediation and as a forum for imaginative self-fashioning. Using a variety of audio-visual strategies and self-hypnosis visualization techniques, the project explores trance induction and the speculative consideration of interactive (technological) possession. The performances incorporates experimental sound and video, brainwaves, neurofeedback and meditation techniques to create a forum for the exploration of vertigo, sensory overload and possession as tools for interactive self-awareness.In this lies the suggestion that autopoetic self-possession offers one potential way of reconstituting selfhood and performative identity in an age of technological possession.
