Poster Statement

What If I’m Not Real is a multi-screen installation work in which the broad ranges of cultural backgrounds and disciplines of artists were able to engage with their shared global contexts for migrations and deportations without the assumption of consensus of perspective.The resulting visual and physical narrative is able to allow different musical performance artists to each reframe the way the work is perceived, so cutting across cultural divides re-locating the same visuals within different geographies and perspectives. The work questions techno-insularity and proposes greater roles for continuing live evolution of electronic screen-based arts, and for the confounding of the real-symbolic between visuals and music.
