SON wears the Sonic Suit, a fashion-tech costume equipped with sensors and microphones. She creates massive sounds through strong, rhythmic movements and sways in tender melodies. These sounds are bundled and designed by add-on Aby 1.0 and result in technoid beats and surreal sound collages.
working for several weeks with these tech-head performers on movement qualities and scenic presentation. carefully defining levels of humanness and machineness, working with interpretation of various music styles while keeping in mind a story line told by only movement, sound and relation. working with exhaustion, superhuman abilities and humor.
