The digitally advanced music and performance artist duo BBB_ confronts the audience with utopian and dystopian worlds, which seem to merge the boundaries between the human and the digital. "Songs of Cyborgeoisie" is an interactive musical journey through virtual landscapes that are home to various technical, organic and fantastic beings. As embodied visions of the future and fractured science-fiction characters, the beings tell of the sorrows, traumas and hopes inscribed into them by their human inventors. Together with the audience, they create a co-evolutionary scenario in which technologies, humans, flora and fauna evolve harmoniously in dialogue – comforting each other, giving each other space to heal or even merging, making an unabashed attempt to free our visions of the future from technological dystopian fears.
The interactive concert performance premiered as part of NODE20 will take place in the virtual GreenHouse NAXOS space via browser. The audience is invited to move around and discover the virtual worlds using an avatar.
