This performative presentation will be formed as an audio-visual, textual experience. Artist Tam Hare constructs a position or character here, by adapting specific, obscured narratives that explore ideas concerning
perceived cognitive issues and how these might relate to global capitalism within a post-capitalist setting.
Crucially, the work also examines the availability of constantly expanding sources of knowledge, globalisation, ‘the new media’ and the internet, and what affects these elements have on this constructed, troubled subject.
Presented will be an independent ‘viewpoint’ that has felt a psychological and social rupture and become acutely disconnected from their contemporary society and setting. Consequently, a depiction of how information is manifested and expressed within the psyche of a subject as they begin to replicate their
schizophrenic environment is envisaged through this performance.
By creating a subject that exists within, and is a result of this socioeconomic system, what will be displayed is a specific realisation of the system’s abstract formations and their ensuing productions. How this individual perceives these structures working against the collective will of their society – by continually projecting into a hypothetical future that forever bypasses the present – has helped create this internally ungrounded and indeterminate being. Their considerations of the rhetorical and utterly contradictory nature of this environment is manifested in this
character and subsequently embodied in the work’s ensuing performance.
The work is partly in collaboration with composer John Bryden and visual artist Anna Glantz.
