Lundahl & Seitl live and work in Stockholm. Their immersive solo projects reinterpret the medium of the exhibition as interpersonal processes via choreography, matter and time. The artists duo have developed a method and an art form comprising staging, choreographed movement, instructions, and immersive technologies, juxtaposed with material objects and the human ability to organize perception into a world. Notions of freedom, autonomy, and what is real, imagined, and perceived are negotiated in an investigation of virtual reality, not as a form of technology but as an ability or sensibility to a relationship with surroundings, with increased insight into how technology makes ‘us’ and lays the ground for the human umwelt – how it connects and disconnects us from each other and other life forms and processes.

Chronus Art Center (CAC) will continue the performative part of River Biographies during this weekend, November 25 and 26.

Based on two individuals' inter/intra-action within and with a larger group, the participants will lead each other by the hand and move together, but their experiences will be separated by Sightless Goggles and different timelines of three-dimensional sound. Each participant will enact a different part in the artwork's choreography: "You are Water, I am Stone." They engage in the friction between the materials, between visual and auditory organs and nerves of the skin, relying on each other's perspective to form a coherent reality that blurs the boundaries between the material body, self and environment. The performance brings awareness of the water and stone elements in human body, encouraging participants to see the river not as an object separated from themselves but as something intimately connected to their own existence.
