IMPULSTANZ - LACE#1 SYMPOSIUM

Text

Topographies of Touch is imagined as a collection of events, each of which functions as a metaphorical place where touch can be examined in its context-specific capacities. In the panel "Expanding Fields" moderated by Efva Lilja panel participants Lucie Strecker, Nikolaus Gansterer, Peter Kozek will introduce the audience to their forthcoming artistic research project, "Shaken Grounds: Seismography of Precarious Presences" funded by PEEK/FWF. This project will delve into the intricate interplay between human intervention in the Earth's structure and the resulting shockwaves that reverberate throughout the planet. Throughout the proposal stage, our team of artists, performers, theoreticians, and choreographers, namely Nikolaus Gansterer, Dominika Glogowski, Mariella Greil, Peter Kozek, and Lucie Strecker diligently shaped the foundation of this research endeavor. Their combined insights and contributions have paved the way for this future exploration, seeking to unravel the profound interdependencies between our human capacity for sensing and our complex relationship with the planet. "Shaken Grounds" will research the tremors felt in the ground upon which artists stand today and the significance of developing trainings in sensing "future vibrations" and tools and practices for hypersensitizing the body to cultivate geo-sensory skills by critically reflecting the artists' role as "seismographers". The team will engage in a discussions with the other symposium attendees Jeroen Peters and Eva Meyer-Keller at Volksoper Probebühne, Severingasse 7, 1090 Vienna.
