Endphase 18-2 "Mixed Cities"
Artists: Endphase: João Pais (in Weimar, laptop), Alberto C. Bernal, Enrique Tomás (in Madrid, smartphones)
This performance has as a point of departure the idea of interaction taken to the extreme: two of Endphase’s members performing live in Vitoria (Spain) receive data from the third as he strolls through Linz, Austria. The data — his GPS position, readings of the ambient light and sound levels, as well as personal commentaries written in real time about the surrounding environment — is transmitted in real time and used as variables which transform and modulate sonic and visual aspects of the live performance in Vitoria.
A projection based on various images from the locations the Linz-based performer will travel through also serves as a suggestive base to the audience as well as the Vitoria-based performers, upon which the discourse between the two cities will be built. The sound material is a combination of pre-recorded sounds from places the performer will pass through in Linz, urban sounds from Vitoria and other less specific sounds.
