Distant Feeling(s) is a project which aims at, once a year, bringing together different interested people, joining from their different locations in the world and share ‘15 minutes’ of togetherness across the network. Resorting to the internet as a common communication channel/medium and to video-conferencing software, everyone is invited to join and remain silent and with eyes closed during the duration of the experiment. The usual human tools used for communication - sound and vision, commonly applied in video-conferencing - are taken out from the equation while going against everyday (technological) restlessness and enabling other senses to carefully tune into the presence of others. Distant Feeling(s) becomes an intimate portrait of people actively producing a meditative state where the screen becomes a shared and common space for all. A globally dispersed community materializing a relational system, a networked topology that not only represents the network itself, but that discusses the fragile situation of us being together while apart.Watch video [here]Distant Feeling(s) is a project by Annie Abrahams ( @e-stranger), Lisa Parra ( @parralis) and Daniel Pinheiro. An online [open to all] yearly reconnection, a ritual of contemplation on our situation of being together while being separated. An ever-changing re-enactment of our intra-action with and through machines.more info:bram.org/distantF/landproject.tumblr.com/distantfeelingsLAND PROJECT: Placelessness (October, 2015) collaboration with Annie Abrahams: aabrahams.wordpress.com/2016/01/27/placelessness/ / youtu.be/tc3nxu-4nno)// Previous sessions //Video - Distant Feeling(s) #1 (raw version) [online, private session]: https://vimeo.com/158351502Video - Distant Feeling(s) #2 [reSense [movement, performance, technology, art] Festival, Berlin, online, July 26th - 9h45pm - 10h45pm (GMT+2)]: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Hu8HDnXh960Video - Distant Feeling(s) #3 [VisionS in the Nunnery, London, online, November 24th 2016 - 6h30pm (GMT)]: https://vimeo.com/193158145Video - Distant Feeling(s) #4 [first of a yearly reconnection, online, December 1st 2017]: https://vimeo.com/245530528Video - Distant Feeling(s) #5 [second of a yearly reconnection, online, December 19th 2018]: https://vimeo.com/308709859 -- source link
