Performance
Sat, Apr 13 from 6:30 – 8:00pm EDT
On the occasion of the final weekend of Mo Kong’s solo exhibition, Swift Island Chain, Smack Mellon presents a performance activation of their installation by artists Fiel Guhit and Tianyi Sun. Continuing explorations from the duo’s recent works rooted in the experience of time in contemporary environments, Workloop connects to Kong’s work through the performance of repetitive labor. In dialogue with an autoregressive text to speech system performing as the “narrator,” Guhit and Sun enact the roles of administrators, laboring with the machines to trace its recursive sonic loops.
