The circle forms and breaks again
"In
Principles of Uncertainty, which is to be a model itself for large-scale
multi-media performance, fifty drummers in two circles (one inside the other)
beat in unison and there emerged fifteen white-clad dancers, accelerated like
atoms, racing -- colliding, moving, reversing, glancing -- for fifteen long and
glorious minutes. Moving video was projected on the exposed wall of the
building to the west (the vacant site was the modernist Lithographic Building)
forming a dynamic and self-acknowledging temporal mural. The mural was three
videos, the first and most powerfully visual was a swirling circle of the site
itself: the buildings across the street, the blank wall, the bridge. Around and
around it went. To the north were the dancers projected in muted stance,
practicing modern and traditional dance, as antiques. At the base of the wall
was an undulating bar graph, capturing the particle acceleration and collision,
and a clock, which enhanced the power of temporality. At eleven minutes thirty
seconds the Speedline train passed over head and motion extended in all
directions."
