CyberTogetherness is a virtual performance premiered at YET TO .COM(E) International Online Residency. With broadcast software as the stage, we brings together a variety of imagination and media about the body. The real-life body, as the subject of dancing, is captured as the silhouette by Kinect, performing in the virtual space as the background. This is accompanied by a pre-recorded voice-changing monologue that triggers the parameter changes of real-time music input.
For dancers, this is choreography of the body. The concept of the body is deconstructed and reconstructed; for tech artists, it is a choreography of media. The body is merged into the ocean of media. The set trajectory traverses the ocean and time difference through the networks with emotions, bringing delay/error/uncertainty and impromptu expressions. Meanwhile, this performance is also a process of mixing backstage and frontstage. When we open the black box, is it a transparent system or another black box? Is what you see really what you get?
我们以直播软件（broadcast software）作为表演的主要舞台，将关于身体的多种想象和呈现方式进行汇集。作为舞动主体的真实世界身体，经由绿幕所消融的kinect动作捕捉剪影，牵扯于作为背景的虚拟空间，伴以预先录制的变声独白，触发实时音乐输入的参数变化。对于舞者（dancer），这是一场身体的表演（choreography of body），身体这一概念被解构与组装；对于技术的操控者（tech artist），这是一场关于媒介的编舞（choreography of media），身体被隐没在媒介的汪洋中。设定的轨迹通过网络穿越海洋和时差，携着情感的浮动，带来延迟/误差/不确定性和即兴表达。同时，这也是一种将后台（backstage）与舞台（frontstage）结合与混合的过程，当我们将黑匣子打开，所见是透明的系统，还是另一个黑箱？所见，真的即所得吗？
