Duke hosts reality-spanning performance

Elle Mehrmand and Micha Cárdenas will be visiting Duke next week for a performance and artists talk. The duo will present technésexual: a mixed reality performance Monday, Jan. 25 in SoundSense Studio, CIEMAS at 6 p.m. and deliver a talk at the Nasher Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 4 p.m. The performance is part of a larger series entitled mixed relations exploring the relationships between bodies and technology. According to a statement on the piece, previously performed in Bogota:

In technésexual the performers commit playful erotic acts in physical and virtual space simultaneously, using devices to amplify the sound of their heartbeats for the two audiences.

Their visit is sponsored by the Experiencing Virtual Worlds Working Group, ISIS, Art, Art History & Visual Studies and Women's Studies, and you can find more information on the piece here.
