Bag Lady 2.0

*Baglady 2.0* is a performance with a customised electronic performance tool, a bag with an antenna and an embedded board, programmed for live wireless broadcasting sound, digital images [video] and text.
In a recent article in Artforum, "Domesticity at War: Beatriz Colomina and Homi K Bhabha in Conversation" (Summer 2007, pp. 442-447), Colomina and Bhabha explore how the mediations of public and private in the context of war are domesticated and inform developments in fashion, design and architecture. Along with its tactical aspect it highlights the importance of the internet as a medium, meeting place and information source.
What the Muse teaches, we should notice, isn't texts ... but rather routes, avenues, means for getting there... providing links for the performing bard (and his audience) ... a web of pathways that give users access to the stories via a pre-textual analogue to our Internet. -John Miles Foley.
sister0 emerges from the underwater database this time as bag lady. She lives in the wreckage of the new dark ages. In the true spirit of a bricoleur she inherits neo-liberal capitalist waste and as a nomad wanders through its discarded wardrobe thrown into the streets, transforms it and plays with it. But instead of collecting material items, she is a hunter-gatherer of ephemeral moments. She carries a bag with an antenne, and embedded board that catptures these and transmits this to a server...what is important in all these cases is the course and direction of the journey itself, its tenor and import, whatever its precise path may be. MORE INFORMATION - technical conceptual etc.
