Totality 2.0
Date (Day) Time
Venue
Totality 2.0 is a captivating three-movement multi-sensory performance that pushes the boundaries of multidisciplinary art by fusing technology, sound, and movement. This immersive showcase by Somatosonic journeys from improvised ambient soundscapes featuring MIDI controller gloves and sound-integrated pole dance into a secondary exploration of unique, artist-made instruments like the “Bone Fone” and “Plaka Readers.” The experience culminates in a powerful finale of spoken word and a “tungkod” solo, set against live visuals by Miggy Inumerable and a high-energy noise-pop ending. Through this synergy of audio-kinetic sculptures and sonified gesture, the piece explores the deep relationship between human expression and electronic systems.
