Pneumaton: Liminal Garden / Exploratorium

The project [pneumaton / exploratorium] proposed by Mitoș Micleușanu within the framework of the Energie! creative grant will consist of two live performances (performance shows of sound, narration and video-art) and aims at a real-time exploration of some human, individual and collective issues, related to the current period, technology, algorithmic and informational expansion, in the attempt to understand or decode the new meanings of the human condition in the process of identity and psychological adaptation to social, existential, ecological and technological dynamics.

The creative plan includes the preparation of the three components: the film/video art for projection, the texts for the narration and the generative sound aggregate, aiming at the harmonization of the elements (the conceptual and compositional structuring of the three creative spheres in an innovative manner of expression)

The project proposes a series of two live performances (sound, video and narration) in which the author presents a video essay (video-art) supported by a series of essays and poetic texts, interpreted live and accompanied by a sound aggregate (installation sound generative) in two confirmed locations in Timișoara. The event will be filmed/edited and documented. The author proposes an artistic and conceptual approach to the live performance, in which narrative meditation is not only accompanied by image and sound synthesis, but dynamically and compositionally connects the three creative dimensions.

This project is part of the national cultural program "Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023" and was funded through Energie! Burse de Creație grant by the City of Timisoara, through the Center for Projects.
