Biennale College Teatro / Elia Pangaro - Bolide | Deus ex machina
Description
BOLIDE is a study of acceleration in every sense: social, figurative, visual, etc.
BOLIDE seeks to stage the active/passive relationship an individual has with the accelerations happening all around them.
BOLIDE is inspired by Italian Futurism, gorpcore and bikercore aesthetics, Hartmut Rosa’s theories and other visual inputs. It’s a performance about images and their speed. A speed that torments us. A speed that makes us slower and lazier, and yet more productive. A relentless speed that never yields, whether to technology or New Age theories.
A faceless deus ex machina is committed to commodifying and artifying (sic) these images, rendering them apparently non-reproducible or even original. Its sole aim is to make money, to sell tickets – though out of whom or what we cannot know. It’s an open-air auction of works with no artist.
An artist with no artworks.
