BODY IS CIRCUIT
Anastasia Vikhornova
& Carlos Monleon
24th May - 14th June 2017
Nervous System
Body is Circuit is a two parts show that re-imagines nervous systems for post-biological landscapes in which they are no longer dependant on anatomical bodies.
Nervous systems are living channels of information, they are pathways created by evolutionary forces. Nervous systems connect mind with matter, mind with other mind(s) and the body with its separate parts. In this evolutionary process, neurobiology results in consciousness. Anastasia Vikhornova and Carlos Monleon take inspiration from these processes and current developments in cybernetics and information sciences to propose speculative becomings of minds and bodies.
By using imaging devices and technologies of self developed by Western and non-Western traditions of science, such as artificial neural networks, Virtual Reality computational models, mudras (sacred gestures), reflexology maps, they construct representations of the connections between the material and the subtle body.

Event I - NeuroVoguing
NeuroVoguing - a neuro dance tonic {treatment}

that completes
the body's {deep}
circuits.
A performance in three chapters charts the
