VIRTUAL GEOGRAPHIES ///
Virtual Geographies (styled as V I R T U A L G E O G R A P H I E S) is a conceptual collaboration between Lizzy Tan and Carly Lave, two American artists based in London and Berlin. Each performance episode in the series connects two international cities through livestream choreography to create a simultaneous yet geographically distant event.
Virtual Geographies explores a conceptual framework of four different spaces: cyberspace, conceptual space, experiential space, and physical geography. Through choreography and digital and virtual technologies, these spaces are presented as zones of communication and interaction for a live audience.
‘An epic quality frames this project… A nod to the existence of a very specific “self” and its archiving in cyberspace.’
