Experiments in art : digital : life

So this is a new idea: re-performing objects. We started with Longo sort of arbitrarily – we love his work, but probably wouldn’t have chosen it as a beginning for our investigation of material culture through performing the objects of that culture.

We’ve worked for a long time around the idea of object/surroundings informing identity. For instance, the image above, taken during the project being:paulandkate, captures a system of uniform objects that we created and built as our domestic environment.

But how does using the body to interpret images of the body (or even further: what about sculpture, Earthworks, Conceptualism…) work differently that the re-performance of actual “Performance Art” – or what we are attempting with the Cover Artists?
