Crisis Actor
There has been a disaster. Two actors hold our collective memory of the event. In an escalating competition for our empathy, they pit body and feeling against each other. Via your phone, you’re offered options and pathways to help them win.
Exploring the attention economy, marginalised bodies and victimhood as spectacle, Crisis Actor brings together conventions of contemporary performance, motion-capture technology, reality television and game design.
As comedic as it is unsettling, absurd as it is incisive, Crisis Actor sees us evolve into the Sims of forces greater than ourselves, ushering the uncanny valley into the realm of the everyday.
