empathy machine

The Space Upstairs presents empathy machine, a group work by the multidisciplinary performance duo slowdanger. The work aims to “desexualize intimacy and examine empathy as a continual process of sensitizing ourselves to our own bodies, companions, and environment.” It was made in collaboration with the ProjectileObjects LED light sculpture, computational artist Char Stiles, and performers Ru Emmons, Roberta Guido, and Simon Phillips. Be aware that the piece contains flashing lights.
