New Works presents an innovative multimedia performance-in-development inspired by video games and simulation theory at the Roundhouse Performance Centre on October 2 at 5 pm.

A Chimerik 似不像 project lead by Carolina MacCaull. 003_playback is an interactive work that invites audience members to vote to collectively decide, in real-time, how the lighting, sound and movement will develop throughout the piece. The piece explores the many timelines we navigate causing a rippling effect with each choice.

Framed as a performance-as-research, 003_playback, investigates how surveillance, control, and agency, actively play with our human experience by constantly shifting our current reality or state.

Audiences will be invited into the space to take in a 30-minute performance, followed by an opportunity to personally explore and experience the technology systems used in the work. The artist will also host a Q&A session and welcome audience feedback as they explore the work as a live performance. 

Chimerik似不像 is a transdisciplinary collective with transnational roots. 003_playback is led by MacCaull alongside collaborators Sammy Chien (creative collaborator, new media sound artist, movement collaborator, and performer), Juolin Lee (Movement interpreter/collaborator), and Danielle Mackenzie Long (new media operator, creative assistant), among others.
