Supper Effect: live-lab for mirror neurons by reaction-lalou 
Thursday August 18 till Wednesday August 24
An interdisciplinary project of Maria Lalou in which interactive installation, video and applied science come together. 
During seven days the project functions as an interactive live lab, an installation in which the live lab processes can be followed via video registration, and a platform for research and discussion.

Supper Effect Lab 
Thursday August 18 till Sunday August 21, 5 – 9 PM
Supper Effect investigates in a live lab situation, in which the audience is invited to take place at a mirroring table with 13 mirrored objects and 13 dishes displayed into the mirror space, how changes in perception in an endless mirroring space influences sensory experiences of taste, tactility and smell. 

 
Supper Effect Presentation & Discussion
Monday August 22, 7 PM
Presentation of Raymond Ee, professor in experimental psychology at the University of Leuven. He will enter into discussion with the artist Maria Lalou about the hypotheses which Supper Effectis based on: how does the body adjust itself to an endless objectified space and time, what is its effect on our perception and senses and which role do the mirror neurons in our brain play in this process? 

Tuesday August 23 - Wednesday August 24, 5 to 9 PM
Viewing of the Supper Effect installation with video images of the Live Lab process.

TIME LAPSE at FLAM 4 Festival at Arti et Amicitiae - Amsterdam

A time lapse always occurs between the event and our thinking about it. Nothing happens in the present; everything is “always already” behind us, from the standpoint of time. There is no present tense, and therefore there approaching the influence of an intermediary space and the way we perceive. Time Lapse traces meaning between spaces considered irrelevant being aware of the two points connected, as one can trace memory as living in between times.

OPERATED PERFORMANCE INSTALLATION TEST 2 by Maria Lalou at DasArts , 2013

 

invitation image to the audience/performers of the work

OPERATED PERFORMANCE INSTALLATION TEST 2 is a work that took place in the building of DasArts in Amsterdam. DasArts is located in a historic school building - the former ‘Open Air School.

The event starts by the call to a specified audience. How does the intervention of a social event relate to the structure of a performance set up in a Master of Theater, while the participants are the ones studying and the surrounding pupil? OPERATED attempts to subtract the event from the event while developing it at the same time of staging it, directing it and interacting within its own logic. Where is the tension of the event once the audience can shift their position under a certain system of instructions within the accumulation of viewing?


The Open Air School was first publicly opened on the 31st of March 1931. Architects of the ‘Dienst Publieke Werken Amsterdam’ designed the building. The pupils of the school consisted of children with respiratory problems and the frail in need of rest and recuperation.

Inside the empty political context and conditions remodelling the sense of reality, a continuous temporal sequence of 'ν' hours, addresses the conciliation and parallel relationship of viewer and empty viewer reception as an apparatus space, as a space through indirect view and direct 'reality'.

The true power of theater is inseparable from the representation of the power of theater, even if that is a critical representation. [one less manifesto-Deleuze]


In reference that one perceive things that are not immediately evident... the viewer will experience an architectural representation of the brain scan, via the constant reconstruction of image and speech

Στις 3-12 δεκεμβρίου και μέσα σε 24 ενεργές ώρες η ομάδα puzzle εξετάζει το πώς η αλληλεπίδραση με το χώρο μπορεί να αναπτύξει χρονική ακολουθία, επικεντρώνοντας το ενδιαφέρον στη οδό επικοινωνίας και δυσεπικοινωνίας.

H πραγματική δύναμη του θεάτρου είναι αδιαχώριστη από την αναπαράσταση της εξουσίας του θεάτρου, ακόμη και αν αυτή είναι μία κριτική αναπαρασταση.     [ on less manifesto-Deleuze ]

Δεδομένου ότι καθευαυτός αντιλαμβάνεται πράγματα που δεν είναι άμεσα εμφανή... ο θεατής θα βιώνει μια αρχιτεκτονίκη αναπαρασταση της σάρωσης του εγκεφάλου, μέσω της αναδιάρθρωσης της εικόνας όσο και του λόγου

PUZZLE-Theatre of Consciousness

critical work published by the peered reviewed journal 'activate' by the Roehampton University in London

direct link here

Q: Mr Aymo-Boot, your designs are often commenting on the ideal of development through architecture. How does the use of projective space give existance to a physical space? 

Q: Ms. Lalou, in your work the spectator is invited to enter into an experiment with his or hers mind as the main stage of action. How does the presence of the spectator introduce a mental space to the physical space?

The Operational Model lecture is an opening to the logic of a system of operations where a viewer becomes an observer, an observation point and again a director of the gaze with a fade out back to the system through direct feedback. The topic at stake is the performance act of ‘the looking’.

A scored analysis initiated by Lalou looks at our dislocated cinematic reality governed by algorithms in collaboration with; Rachael Rakes : on the relation of between image production and its significance in film/video works in art T.G.V. Sambolec : underlying the idea of presence in the role of the artist and its relation to the art institution T.

 I AM A 'Φ' performance based on book [theatro] by Maria Lalou, 2013

 

 

 I AM A 'Φ'

 

By multiple times removing the experience of a rather significant original experience I AM A 'Φ' is a performance attempting to produce imagination of an existential state via its constant tension and repentance.  Intention becomes tension and again intention. How does the platonic ideal, enhance the forth side of imagination? A piece that comes as the 5th circle of research based on the initial work of Maria Lalou - PUZZLE produced and performed at FROWN Athens on December 2012.


 


 

'read'

installation is a collection 'objects'  signifying the erasure the information in the performance I AM A 'Φ'. 'read' is an independent work that functions as a memory re-occurance for the performance work I AM A 'Φ'.

a-symphony
 
An interdependent relation between antisymmetry and symphony. 
How does 'a space' relates to 'the event' ? What does rapture create 
between the parallel and the simultaneous. If gesture takes the space 
of sound composition then the body reacts to the function of 'a distance'.

_ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ [UN]FINISHED  part of ReMap 4 Athens

_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ [UN]FINISHED has as protagonist the architectural archetype of the unfinished concrete building found everywhere in the Athens cityscape. These structures are exposing the concrete skeleton hidden under the facade finishes of the buildings composing the cityscape. They are signs of invisible financial and political structures defining the physical appearance of the city. With its character of a ruin of a forgotten purpose the unfinished building is at the same time pointing to the past and to the future. A frozen moment of time decaying ever since volume reached that concrete state. Within the context of ReMap4 _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ [UN]FINISHED addresses the inaccessibility, the potential of the unused space, and the relation of private and public.
