FlipFlop: an ambientTV.NET production
in preparation

Motion poets, cyborgs, soundmakers and light artists collaborate on a series of site-specific telematic theatre performances that mess with the boundaries between audience and performer, the venue and the street outside, local dialects and the story being told globally. Broadly, the theme is relationships as mediated by technology, and flipflop's realisation makes extensive use of waveLAN (wireless networking). The narrative structure is essentially digressive, building the characters through vignettes that weave together fragments, marginal notes, and asides. Through the development period, segments of flipflop will be published in print, as video and music CDs, and online, and performed at pilot shows. The process has begun with the vignette synchronicity, produced at Makrolab during its residency in Perthshire, and published as a photostory in the Lithuanian art magazine BLUR. A viral trailer of synchronicity is available on request.
