Passion Asasu invites the audience to participate in and influence the performance by using the artist's body as material and protagonist. When a woman's appearance not only embodies the uniqueness of an individual but also represents the cultural hierarchy of patriarchal systems that carelessly turns a female body into a product and equates her worth with her appearance and sexual functions. Through the performance, the audience is given the opportunity to observe and interact by activating substantial body parts of the artist's body. The fluidity of her body parts dancing randomly and brainlessly aims to play with the audience’s perception of a body image by emphasizing the uncertainty of our bodies that can change with age, nutrition, physical activity, hormonal status, and more. She hopes to create a space of critical engagement where visitors can see the violence, representation, struggle, and survival of a female body. The performance simply poses a question of when and how we can put an end to this broken construction and unauthorize the body as a place of oppression.<br /> <br /> '''Technique'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> The technology used in the performance is a DIY inflatable with electric pumps and distance sensors. When an audience member approaches a sensor, it sends a signal to an Arduino microcontroller to run a code that activates the electronic pump, which inflates small balloons on the artist's body through an air tube. Once the value of the code reaches the maximum limit of 255, the air is automatically released through another tube into an exit motor. This process is repeated as audience members approach and move away from the sensors.

The fluidity of her body parts dancing randomly and brainlessly aims to play with the audience’s perception of a body image by emphasizing the uncertainty of our bodies that can change with age, nutrition, physical activity, hormonal status, and more.

<p>Xiwe6714: /* Student work (your contributions) */</p> <hr /> <div>''[[File:Construction_destruction_s+.jpg|1000px]] ''how DALL·E interprets the topic [https://labs.openai.com/s/bkK0W2zRq1czdCo97bRJLDBF]<br /> ''<br /> <br /> <br /> Construction and deconstruction processes can be observed in all areas of activity, there occurring as build up and dismantling. Both activities are mutually dependent. In order to be able to build up, another structure must be broken down. These activities indicate the limited availability of space and time, the need to be thought of in cycles. In their respective contexts, they develop meaning, morality, violence, hope. <br /> They appear to us in non-ending promises of growth in capitalism, the loss of nature through climate change or massive destructions of wars, but also in the natural decay and the natural growth. We are permanently confronted with the phenomena of construction and destruction and have every reason to reflect on them. <br /> In art, Gustav Metzger in his autodestructive art or Mierle Ladermann-Ukeles in her &quot;Maintenance Art&quot; have positioned themselves on this. &quot;Politics of care&quot; also think in a different way about the future. Where do we stand? How do we deal with construction, destruction, poiesis or decay? What processes do we use for our personal research?<br /> The project proposes a practical approach to the topic and offers the opportunity to experiment with the different forms of constructing or destruction and to address their mechanisms of action and their impact in their environment.<br /> <br /> I'm curious how you are interpreting construction and destruction and where you see the fields of activities for artists, designers and architects. <br /> <br /> Besides the fach courses of my co-workers who wil, this semester, '''Christian Doeller''' will be assisting us with practical support to develop interactive artefacts within the context of the project. <br /> <br /> Meetings in presence '''Tuesdays at 9.15 - 12.30 the Digital Bauhaus Lab Bauhaus Strasse 7''', ground floor. <br /> Start: October 18th<br /> <br /> == Readings ==<br /> <br /> * [https://monoskop.org/images/c/c9/Stiles_Kristine_1987_Synopsis_of_the_Destruction_in_Art_Symposium_and_Its_Theoretical_Significance.pdf Destruction in Art Symposium]<br /> * Anna Tsing: Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the Anthropocene ISBN 978-1517902360<br /> * Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel: Critical Zones ISBN 9780262044455<br /> * Paul Virilio: Bunker Archaeology ISBN 978-1568980157<br /> * Andrew Pickering: The Mangle in Practice ISBN 978-0-8223-4373-8<br /> * Mathieu Copeland, Clément Dirié (eds.), 'Gustav Metzger.

<p>Xiwe6714: /* the event */</p> <hr /> <div>== ''MASK // MIRROR // SHADOW'' ==<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Mask Mirror Shadow - Poster 2.3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> =='''abstract'''==<br /> <br /> Narcissism has become a modern epidemic, spreading due to societal changes and technology. It can have both positive and negative effects on an individual's sense of self. However, at a high level or in the state of NPD (narcissistic personality disorder), it can cause destructive harm to others and oneself. This project explores the concept of narcissism in relation to environmental crises and trauma in early life. While humans are products of their society and family, narcissism is a complex issue heavily involved in modern society.<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 1.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> =='''about the project'''==<br /> <br /> Through an interdisciplinary approach, &quot;MASK // MIRROR // SHADOW&quot; encourages the audience to examine the impact of their thoughts and behaviors on society. By exploring the meaning behind three simple words, the performance challenges our perception of reality and invites self-reflection. The project presents a nuanced view of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, acknowledging that we all possess some degree of narcissism. However, it does not aim to label or victimize individuals, but instead promotes self-awareness and a deeper exploration of the mind and behavior. &quot;MASK // MIRROR // SHADOW&quot; prompts questions that promote empathy and consciousness, encouraging us to examine our own behaviors and perceptions.<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 2.4.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> =='''the event'''==<br /> <br /> An exhibition and theatrical performance that took place on September 3, 2022 at REDAH in Berlin (Silbersteinstraße 133, 12051). The exhibition features four three-dimensional contemporary works made of various materials, inviting the viewers to participate and reflect on their experiences. The theatrical performance is inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus, exploring the concept of narcissism in a nuanced way. The use of ice as a modern interpretation of water adds an abstract and ironic logic to the installation and performance, allowing for an endless reflection of oneself. The performance aims to explore the multifaceted aspects of narcissism without judgment, creating a safe space for self-exploration and reflection.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 6.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> The video below contains the documentation of the performance on the day.<br /> <br /> =='''the installation'''==<br /> <br /> ''The event featured four three-dimensional contemporary works that were showcased prior to the performance, and some of them were also utilized on the stage during the performance.''<br /> <br /> '''mirror current'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Material: River and wooden frame<br /> <br /> It ironically mimics the shape of the river's current from 'Narcissus' by using reflective materials connected to another piece of work, which is a bowl of ice referred to as a source of water (and reflection).<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> '''brunch with the girls 💕'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Material: Glass, aluminum, lithium, platinum, and tungsten.<br /> <br /> The piece explores the portrayal of oneself on social media, highlighting the disconnect between what is presented online and reality.

The installation consists of 4 three-dimensional contemporary works of various materials and medium. The viewers can experience as participation, relate to their experiences and posit themselves in an expanse that they not only observe but take part in.<br /> <br /> Apart from the installation there is a theatrical performance inspired by the greek methodology, Narcissus. Guiding the audiences from the broken background of narcissists, to the transformation of self-esteem, then being overwhelmed by self absorption, the lack of empathy to themselves and to others, and finally the drowning into one’s own reflection that harm one’s self.<br /> <br /> The main material I want to use is ‘ice’, as a modern interpretation of ‘water’ which is the core material in ‘Narcissus’ methodology. To add my idea into the original material, I use the logic behind the narcissistic way of thinking: the exaggerated desire to be loved, admired and to have the support of others. As water has been used as a self-reflector or mirror in ‘Narcissus’. The abstract and ironic logic behind ‘ice’ is to maintain that feeling of seeing oneself in the reflection forever as it is the endless reflection and absorption of oneself.<br /> <br /> Therefore ‘ice’ has been use in this project as a main medium in the installation, performance and the making of sound. The sound we used in the performance had been recorded on the day from the ice on the stage along with other materials I use in the installation works. Purposely, we wanted to make it as live as possible in order to create a fresh energy and allow audiences to take part in the show as much as we can.<br /> <br /> The performance aims to non-verbally define the terms of narcissism in multifaceted aspects and include the beauty and the beast of narcissistic traits. Even though, it does not indicate towards what is good and bad, as there is nothing as such but to create a safe space where we can equally explore ourselves and our complex minds. It purposely wants to seduce, embrace, stimulate and tickle the narcissist in all of us.<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 6.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> =='''the installation'''==<br /> <br /> '''mirror current'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Material: River and wooden frame<br /> <br /> Ironically mimic the shape of river's current from 'Narcissus' using reflective materials connected to another piece of work which is a bowl of ice referred as a source of the water (and reflection).<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> '''brunch with the girls 💕'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> Material: Glass, aluminium, lithium, platinum and tungsten.<br /> <br /> Playing with the presentation of oneself on social media.

It can have both positive and negative effects on an individual's sense of self. However, at a high level or in the state of NPD (narcissistic personality disorder), it can cause destructive harm to others and oneself. This project explores the concept of narcissism in relation to environmental crises and trauma in early life. While humans are products of their society and family, narcissism is a complex issue heavily involved in modern society.<br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 1.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> =='''about the project'''==<br /> <br /> ‘MASK // MIRROR // SHADOW’ questions and examines our minds, thoughts, behaviours that impact ourselves and other human beings in the society. With the use of 3 simple words that can be interpreted differently based on an individual's background. The interdisciplinary work that runs across psychology and art fields aims to challenge the viewers’ perception of themselves and their own invented realities by allowing them to interact with the work, contribute themselves as an instrumental of it and also reflect on themselves through the performance. I have an itch to talk about this mental condition and communicate it through art, to project the idea of NPD in both positive and negative areas. As we all know that we all fall somewhere along the narcissism kingdom and somehow we are both a narcissist and a victim at the same time. The project does not aim to labels or victimise anyone, but to engage all of us to the field of self-reflection and self-awareness.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:MMS - Photo 2.4.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> =='''the exhibition'''==<br /> <br /> 'MASK // MIRROR // SHADOW’ took place on 3rd September 2022 from 18:00 - 22:00 at REDAH (Silbersteinstraße 133, 12051 Berlin) the exhibition aims to ironically communicate through the power of visualisation and perception of themselves. The installation consists of 4 three-dimensional contemporary works of various materials and medium.

As water has been used as a self-reflector or mirror in ‘Narcissus’.

Taking inspiration from the movement of Physarum Polysephalum, the project showcases the freedom of expression that women are entitled to in all aspects of their lives, including their sexual desires, without compromising their values.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Project Cover.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;SEXx (Social Expectation of Women)&quot; is a project that sheds light on the oppressive societal norms that women face. Women are often judged and evaluated based on their behavior and expression of desire, especially when it comes to sex. Terms such as &quot;whore,&quot; &quot;slut,&quot; and &quot;nymphomaniac&quot; are commonly used to describe women, while men are given more positive labels such as &quot;Romeo,&quot; &quot;Casanova,&quot; and &quot;womanizer.&quot; Through the use of mixed media such as photography, videos, and a movement workshop, the project creates an engaging environment for visitors and participants to experience the hidden issues that women still face in society.<br /> <br /> The project takes inspiration from the beautiful living form of Physarum Polysephalum, a highly intelligent unicellular organism capable of finding the shortest path to reach its food source while avoiding harmful environments. The visual movement of slime moulds searching for food not only portrays their freedom of desire for food, but also their power of expression and decisiveness. This inspired me to conduct a deeper exploration into their natural movements and behaviors, including how they move to express their hunger and perform in order to reach their food source. Through this observation, I was struck by the freedom and pleasantness of their movement, which led me to develop a workshop idea that incorporates the concepts of bodies, minds, freedom, and drive.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 4.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> ''This project consists of two parts. The first part involves the observation of the Physarum Polysephalum, which resulted in photography and videography work. The second part is a movement workshop that was inspired by the observations made in the first part.''<br /> <br /> '''1. The Observation'''<br /> <br /> To comprehend the nature of the Physarum Polysephalum and its means of survival in challenging circumstances, I carried out two experiments in which slime moulds were placed in a controlled and challenging environment that opposes their natural behavior. I observed their movements and patterns as they attempted to reach their food source and documented them through photography, videography, time-lapse and a microscope techniques.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment I:''' In this experiment, I divided a container with 12 holes, and filled each hole with agar, placing slime moulds and oats separately. Some of the holes were left empty. The slime moulds can sense the food, but they need to find a way to access it through the empty space between the holes.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime moulds used small bridges between the holes to reach the oats. Some of them moved downwards to the bottom of the container and climbed up to the holes that were full of oats. Others used the lid of the container as a bridge to reach the food. The empty holes that were not in between the oats and slime moulds were not used in the journey. This means that the slime moulds still chose the shortest paths instead of searching every hole. However, the journey took a bit longer than usual. In the end, the slime moulds took over most of the oat holes and grew very big. They dried out due to the lack of agar. From the observation, I could see their hard work in the journey, and it was inspiring how they creatively managed to find a way to the food in a difficult situation.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 1.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment II:''' I divided two sets of slime moulds lying on an agar layer into different containers: one set had easy access to their food while the other set was in a controlled environment that prohibited them from accessing their food. Both sets were placed together in the same installation designed to project the idea of sexual hierarchy through its position. The aim was not only to observe the results of one set performing their acts of desire easier than the other but also to reflect the image of women who are mostly stuck in controlling conditions at the bottom of our ongoing patriarchal society. I aimed to see the different results of how each set tried to reach their food.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime mould in both sets took a longer time than the first experiment to move around. The set at the top, which had easy access to the oats, did not move towards the oats easily. My assumption is that the open environment of the container made the habitat too dry and not easy for slime moulds to live. The other set at the bottom grew faster until they reached the edge of the covering glass. I put some of them outside the glass to see if they could climb up to the oats. However, they stopped moving once the agar became too dry and could not reach the oats. What I learned from this experiment is that even though the desire for food was still there, when the basic factors, such as the habitat, cannot support them, it is impossible for them to even survive.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 2.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Conclusion'''<br /> <br /> The struggling pattern that I had expected to see before conducting the experiments was not observed the way I had imagined. Slime moulds are incredibly clever organisms, hence, they were able to find a way to reach the food source even in challenging circumstances. However, this doesn’t mean that the slime moulds in both experiments did not suffer, as the way that the experiments were conducted already affected their nature. Some of them had to go through a difficult journey, and some of them had to face severe living environments. In the end, both groups dried out unnaturally in the containers where I put them.<br /> <br /> I was inspired not only by the beauty of the struggles as a way of growing, but also by the decisive desire that drives them to create new possibilities. I collected my thoughts from the observation and combined them with the Gaga dance practices. Through the framework of connecting our bodies, their bodies, and imaginations, experiencing physical sensations, and emptying ourselves to fill in with new sensations, energy, and movements.<br /> <br /> I compiled the results from both experiments into a video work that aims to portray the sensation of oppression and the desire to be free.<br /> {{#ev:vimeo|692851609}}<br /> <br /> '''2. The Movement Workshop'''<br /> <br /> The movement workshop employed Gaga dance techniques as a tool to help participants open up their bodies and make them available by emptying old sensations, beliefs, and experiences to create new possibilities. Combining the inspiration of the slime mould's patterns and movements, which embody desire, inner drive, courage, and freedom, the workshop aimed to help participants reconnect and reform their relationships between themselves, their inner needs, and nature.<br /> <br /> The first part of the workshop provided a safe space for participants to open up physically and mentally through discussions leading to movement practices that broke down the topic into fragments, allowing participants to gradually let go of their personalities, senses of self, including movements, voices, thoughts, pains, and pasts, and embrace their present state of being without labeling themselves.<br /> <br /> In the final part of the workshop, the energy generated in the first segment was harnessed and channeled through a poetry reading that aimed to encourage participants to express their drives, feelings, and emotions through words. The goal was to empower the participants to freely transform the new energy they had created, unburdened by any fear or hesitation. As the participants embodied their newfound energy, they experienced a sense of renewal, discovering new facets of themselves in their own unique way. This process allowed them to uncover the hidden power within themselves that could be used to empower themselves and others.<br /> <br /> Overall, the workshop was designed to challenge and inspire participants to break free from their limitations and unleash their creative potential by utilizing Gaga's techniques and drawing inspiration from the movements of slime mould. Participants are encouraged to embrace their innermost desires and passions and to harness the boundless energy within themselves.<br /> <br /> The workshop took place on March 25th, 2022, at the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) with two participants: Martin Müller and Lisa Zwinzscher.<br /> <br /> Click to download the workshop plan &gt;&gt;<br /> [[:File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Movement Workshop.pdf]]<br /> <br /> '''The documentation of the workshop'''<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-1.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-2.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-3.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-4.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-5.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-6.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-7.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-8.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-9.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-10.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-11.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-12.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-13.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-14.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-15.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-16.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-17.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> '''Special thanks to:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Workshop Participants: Martin Müller, Lisa Zwinzscher&lt;br&gt;<br /> Slime Mould Donation: Nicolas Krewer - Bo Liu - Cosmo Niklas Schüppel&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Older Idea and Experiment===<br /> [[older_idea_and_experiment]]<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> https://www.gagapeople.com/en/&lt;br&gt;<br /> https://www.danceadvantage.net/questions-about-gaga/&lt;br&gt;<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqO3cn5ME0A&lt;br&gt;</div>

This inspired me to conduct a deeper exploration into their natural movements and behaviors, including how they move to express their hunger and perform in order to reach their food source. Through this observation, I was struck by the freedom and pleasantness of their movement, which led me to develop a workshop idea that incorporates the concepts of bodies, minds, freedom, and drive.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 4.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> ''This project consists of two parts. The first part involves the observation of the Physarum Polysephalum, which resulted in photography and videography work. The second part is a movement workshop that was inspired by the observations made in the first part.''<br /> <br /> '''1. The Observation'''<br /> <br /> To comprehend the nature of the Physarum Polysephalum and its means of survival in challenging circumstances, I carried out two experiments in which slime moulds were placed in a controlled and challenging environment that opposes their natural behavior. I observed their movements and patterns as they attempted to reach their food source and documented them through photography, videography, time-lapse and a microscope techniques.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment I:''' In this experiment, I divided a container with 12 holes, and filled each hole with agar, placing slime moulds and oats separately. Some of the holes were left empty. The slime moulds can sense the food, but they need to find a way to access it through the empty space between the holes.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime moulds used small bridges between the holes to reach the oats. Some of them moved downwards to the bottom of the container and climbed up to the holes that were full of oats. Others used the lid of the container as a bridge to reach the food. The empty holes that were not in between the oats and slime moulds were not used in the journey. This means that the slime moulds still chose the shortest paths instead of searching every hole. However, the journey took a bit longer than usual. In the end, the slime moulds took over most of the oat holes and grew very big. They dried out due to the lack of agar. From the observation, I could see their hard work in the journey, and it was inspiring how they creatively managed to find a way to the food in a difficult situation.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 1.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment II:''' I divided two sets of slime moulds lying on an agar layer into different containers: one set had easy access to their food while the other set was in a controlled environment that prohibited them from accessing their food. Both sets were placed together in the same installation designed to project the idea of sexual hierarchy through its position. The aim was not only to observe the results of one set performing their acts of desire easier than the other but also to reflect the image of women who are mostly stuck in controlling conditions at the bottom of our ongoing patriarchal society. I aimed to see the different results of how each set tried to reach their food.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime mould in both sets took a longer time than the first experiment to move around. The set at the top, which had easy access to the oats, did not move towards the oats easily. My assumption is that the open environment of the container made the habitat too dry and not easy for slime moulds to live. The other set at the bottom grew faster until they reached the edge of the covering glass. I put some of them outside the glass to see if they could climb up to the oats. However, they stopped moving once the agar became too dry and could not reach the oats. What I learned from this experiment is that even though the desire for food was still there, when the basic factors, such as the habitat, cannot support them, it is impossible for them to even survive.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 2.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Conclusion'''<br /> <br /> The struggling pattern that I had expected to see before conducting the experiments was not observed the way I had imagined. Slime moulds are incredibly clever organisms, hence, they were able to find a way to reach the food source even in challenging circumstances. However, this doesn’t mean that the slime moulds in both experiments did not suffer, as the way that the experiments were conducted already affected their nature. Some of them had to go through a difficult journey, and some of them had to face severe living environments. In the end, both groups dried out unnaturally in the containers where I put them.<br /> <br /> I was inspired not only by the beauty of the struggles as a way of growing, but also by the decisive desire that drives them to create new possibilities. I collected my thoughts from the observation and combined them with the Gaga dance practices. Through the framework of connecting our bodies, their bodies, and imaginations, experiencing physical sensations, and emptying ourselves to fill in with new sensations, energy, and movements.<br /> <br /> I compiled the results from both experiments into a video work that aims to portray the sensation of oppression and the desire to be free.<br /> {{#ev:vimeo|692851609}}<br /> <br /> '''2. The Movement Workshop'''<br /> <br /> The movement workshop employed Gaga dance techniques as a tool to help participants open up their bodies and make them available by emptying old sensations, beliefs, and experiences to create new possibilities. Combining the inspiration of the slime mould's patterns and movements, which embody desire, inner drive, courage, and freedom, the workshop aimed to help participants reconnect and reform their relationships between themselves, their inner needs, and nature.<br /> <br /> The first part of the workshop provided a safe space for participants to open up physically and mentally through discussions leading to movement practices that broke down the topic into fragments, allowing participants to gradually let go of their personalities, senses of self, including movements, voices, thoughts, pains, and pasts, and embrace their present state of being without labeling themselves.<br /> <br /> In the final part of the workshop, the energy generated in the first segment was harnessed and channeled through a poetry reading that aimed to encourage participants to express their drives, feelings, and emotions through words. The goal was to empower the participants to freely transform the new energy they had created, unburdened by any fear or hesitation. As the participants embodied their newfound energy, they experienced a sense of renewal, discovering new facets of themselves in their own unique way. This process allowed them to uncover the hidden power within themselves that could be used to empower themselves and others.<br /> <br /> Overall, the workshop was designed to challenge and inspire participants to break free from their limitations and unleash their creative potential by utilizing Gaga's techniques and drawing inspiration from the movements of slime mould. Participants are encouraged to embrace their innermost desires and passions and to harness the boundless energy within themselves.<br /> <br /> The workshop took place on March 25th, 2022, at the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) with two participants: Martin Müller and Lisa Zwinzscher.<br /> <br /> Click to download the workshop plan &gt;&gt;<br /> [[:File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Movement Workshop.pdf]]<br /> <br /> '''The documentation of the workshop'''<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-1.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-2.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-3.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-4.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-5.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-6.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-7.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-8.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-9.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-10.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-11.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-12.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-13.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-14.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-15.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-16.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-17.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> '''Special thanks to:'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Workshop Participants: Martin Müller, Lisa Zwinzscher&lt;br&gt;<br /> Slime Mould Donation: Nicolas Krewer - Bo Liu - Cosmo Niklas Schüppel&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Older Idea and Experiment===<br /> [[older_idea_and_experiment]]<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> https://www.gagapeople.com/en/<br /> https://www.danceadvantage.net/questions-about-gaga/<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqO3cn5ME0A</div>

I observed their movements and patterns as they attempted to reach their food source and documented them through photography, videography, time-lapse and a microscope techniques.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 3.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment I:''' In this experiment, I divided a container with 12 holes, and filled each hole with agar, placing slime moulds and oats separately. Some of the holes were left empty. The slime moulds can sense the food, but they need to find a way to access it through the empty space between the holes.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime moulds used small bridges between the holes to reach the oats. Some of them moved downwards to the bottom of the container and climbed up to the holes that were full of oats. Others used the lid of the container as a bridge to reach the food. The empty holes that were not in between the oats and slime moulds were not used in the journey. This means that the slime moulds still chose the shortest paths instead of searching every hole. However, the journey took a bit longer than usual. In the end, the slime moulds took over most of the oat holes and grew very big. They dried out due to the lack of agar. From the observation, I could see their hard work in the journey, and it was inspiring how they creatively managed to find a way to the food in a difficult situation.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 1.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Experiment II:''' I divided two sets of slime moulds lying on an agar layer into different containers: one set had easy access to their food while the other set was in a controlled environment that prohibited them from accessing their food. Both sets were placed together in the same installation designed to project the idea of sexual hierarchy through its position. The aim was not only to observe the results of one set performing their acts of desire easier than the other but also to reflect the image of women who are mostly stuck in controlling conditions at the bottom of our ongoing patriarchal society. I aimed to see the different results of how each set tried to reach their food.<br /> <br /> '''Results:''' The slime mould in both sets took a longer time than the first experiment to move around. The set at the top, which had easy access to the oats, did not move towards the oats easily. My assumption is that the open environment of the container made the habitat too dry and not easy for slime moulds to live. The other set at the bottom grew faster until they reached the edge of the covering glass. I put some of them outside the glass to see if they could climb up to the oats. However, they stopped moving once the agar became too dry and could not reach the oats. What I learned from this experiment is that even though the desire for food was still there, when the basic factors, such as the habitat, cannot support them, it is impossible for them to even survive.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Experiment 2.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Conclusion'''<br /> <br /> The struggling pattern that I had expected to see before conducting the experiments was not observed the way I had imagined. Slime moulds are incredibly clever organisms, hence, they were able to find a way to reach the food source even in challenging circumstances. However, this doesn’t mean that the slime moulds in both experiments did not suffer, as the way that the experiments were conducted already affected their nature. Some of them had to go through a difficult journey, and some of them had to face severe living environments. In the end, both groups dried out unnaturally in the containers where I put them.<br /> <br /> I was inspired not only by the beauty of the struggles as a way of growing, but also by the decisive desire that drives them to create new possibilities. I collected my thoughts from the observation and combined them with the Gaga dance practices. Through the framework of connecting our bodies, their bodies, and imaginations, experiencing physical sensations, and emptying ourselves to fill in with new sensations, energy, and movements.<br /> <br /> I compiled the results from both experiments into a video work that aims to portray the sensation of oppression and the desire to be free.<br /> {{#ev:vimeo|692851609}}<br /> <br /> '''2. The Movement Workshop'''<br /> <br /> The movement workshop employed Gaga dance techniques as a tool to help participants open up their bodies and make them available by emptying old sensations, beliefs, and experiences to create new possibilities. Combining the inspiration of the slime mould's patterns and movements, which embody desire, inner drive, courage, and freedom, the workshop aimed to help participants reconnect and reform their relationships between themselves, their inner needs, and nature.<br /> <br /> The first part of the workshop provided a safe space for participants to open up physically and mentally through discussions leading to movement practices that broke down the topic into fragments, allowing participants to gradually let go of their personalities, senses of self, including movements, voices, thoughts, pains, and pasts, and embrace their present state of being without labeling themselves.<br /> <br /> In the final part of the workshop, the energy generated in the first segment was harnessed and channeled through a poetry reading that aimed to encourage participants to express their drives, feelings, and emotions through words. The goal was to empower the participants to freely transform the new energy they had created, unburdened by any fear or hesitation. As the participants embodied their newfound energy, they experienced a sense of renewal, discovering new facets of themselves in their own unique way. This process allowed them to uncover the hidden power within themselves that could be used to empower themselves and others.<br /> <br /> Overall, the workshop was designed to challenge and inspire participants to break free from their limitations and unleash their creative potential by utilizing Gaga's techniques and drawing inspiration from the movements of slime mould. Participants are encouraged to embrace their innermost desires and passions and to harness the boundless energy within themselves.<br /> <br /> The workshop took place on March 25th, 2022, at the DBL (Digital Bauhaus Lab) with two participants: Martin Müller and Lisa Zwinzscher.<br /> <br /> Click to download the workshop plan &gt;&gt;<br /> [[:File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Movement Workshop.pdf]]<br /> <br /> '''The documentation of the workshop'''<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-1.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-2.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-3.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-4.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-5.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-6.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-7.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-8.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-9.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-10.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-11.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-12.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-13.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-14.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-15.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-16.jpg<br /> File:SEXx-movement-workshop-17.jpg<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> '''Special thanks to:'''<br /> <br /> Workshop Participants: Martin Müller, Lisa Zwinzscher<br /> Slime Mould Donation: Nicolas Krewer - Bo Liu - Cosmo Niklas Schüppel<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Older Idea and Experiment===<br /> [[older_idea_and_experiment]]</div>

<p>Xiwe6714: </p> <hr /> <div>='''SEXx'''=<br /> '''(Social Expectation of Women)'''<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> '''abstract'''&lt;br&gt;<br /> The project explores the societal norms and expectations placed on women. Through the use of mixed media such as photography, videos, and a movement workshop, it sheds light on the issue. Taking inspiration from the movement of Physarum Polysephalum, the project showcases the freedom of expression that women are entitled to in all aspects of their lives, including their sexual desires, without compromising their values.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx Project Cover.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;SEXx (Social Expectation of Women)&quot; is a project that sheds light on the oppressive societal norms that women face. Women are often judged and evaluated based on their behavior and expression of desire, especially when it comes to sex. Terms such as &quot;whore,&quot; &quot;slut,&quot; and &quot;nymphomaniac&quot; are commonly used to describe women, while men are given more positive labels such as &quot;Romeo,&quot; &quot;Casanova,&quot; and &quot;womanizer.&quot; Through the use of mixed media such as photography, videos, and a movement workshop, the project creates an engaging environment for visitors and participants to experience the hidden issues that women still face in society.<br /> <br /> The project takes inspiration from the beautiful living form of Physarum Polysephalum, a highly intelligent unicellular organism capable of finding the shortest path to reach its food source while avoiding harmful environments. The visual movement of slime moulds searching for food not only portrays their freedom of desire for food, but also their power of expression and decisiveness. This inspired me to conduct a deeper exploration into their natural movements and behaviors, including how they move to express their hunger and perform in order to reach their food source. Through this observation, I was struck by the freedom and pleasantness of their movement, which led me to develop a workshop idea that incorporates the concepts of bodies, minds, freedom, and drive.<br /> <br /> [[File:Passion Asasu - SEXx 1st Section 4.jpg|1600px]]<br /> <br /> ''This project consists of two parts.
