SUMMARY:FULL-TIME  Performance by X. A. Li and estlin usher
DESCRIPTION:Join us to enjoy a video\, sound\, interactive technology\, and physical performance!\n\n\nFULL-TIME performance\nSunday\, August 25\, 7:00 PM-8:30 PM \n“Bataille distinguishes between two types of play\, strong and weak. In a society in which utility has become the dominant principle only weak play is deemed acceptable…Strong play\, by contrast\, cannot be reconciled with the principle of work and production. It puts life itself at risk.” Byung-Chul Han\, The Disappearance of Rituals. \nFULL-TIME is an installation and performance in three acts\, responding to the Hall of Immortals and Hall of Murals at IMSS. It examines the relationship between bodies and labor\, drawing from records of OSHA fatalities and a worker’s compensation taxonomy enumerating the category codes of sixty-two discrete body parts. \nIn a society of production the individual becomes an instrument of capital. Our physical and mental labors often constitute senseless acts\, divorced from immanent human meaning\, in service of an abstract and disembodied logic that presents itself as inevitable. Our bodies erode from these repetitive motions\, become defined by the acts they perform\, the value these acts yield. Even outside the sphere of work we orient our actions\, values\, and leisure activities through a lens of logic and utility. What is sovereignty outside the mandate of value? \nAcross video\, sound\, interactive technology\, and physical performance\, FULL-TIME explores the brittle bio- and psychopolitics governing life and labor today. Deliberately misapplying numerous stochastic algorithms and artificial intelligence models to original footage and bureaucratic datasets\, FULL-TIME charts the collapses underway and the unknown states that might follow. \nFULL-TIME was created as part of Li and Usher’s ongoing audiovisual collaboration Post Consumer Material. \n\n\n\n \nAbout the performers: \nX. A. Li (b. 1991) is an artist and computer scientist based in Chicago. Using video\, sound\, text\, and software\, she creates installations and performances excavating contemporary systems of power by applying dominant technologies in atypical ways. She has exhibited\, performed\, and given talks across the United States and internationally\, including recent presentations at the Chicago Humanities Festival\, Experimental Sound Studio\, Public Space One\, The Wrong Biennale\, CURRENTS New Media Festival\, Elastic Arts Foundation\, the Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago\, Woman Made Gallery\, Mana Contemporary\, and the Stamps Gallery at the University of Michigan. She holds an M.S. from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, where her research focused on generative artificial intelligence\, and a B.A. from the University of Chicago. \nestlin usher (b. 1990) is a sound artist and composer based out of Chicago\, IL\, USA\, working with field recording\, abstract synthesis\, electro-acoustic techniques\, and complex sample manipulation to create immersive and evocative listening environments. estlin’s work explores the sound of objects in the world\, found sound\, extant media\, and how they relate to history\, politics\, and concepts beyond the traditional notion of music\, sound\, and noise. \n \n\n\nGeneral Admission $20 \nStudent Admission $10 \nAdmission at the door $25 \nFree for IMSS Members \nDoors open at 6:30 pm \n \n\n\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \nAccessible accommodations include a ramp entrance and elevator. If you need additional accessibility options or wheelchair seating\, please contact us at info@imss.org. \nParking and Directions can be found here: https://imss.org/plan-your-visit/ \n \nAbout the Multidisciplinary Recovery Series: The International Museum of Surgical Science supports a commitment to contemporary art and artists through exhibitions and programs that use the frame of contemporary artistic practice to examine new perspectives in medical and surgical science and our relationship to the body. The Museum continuously seeks artist performance and workshop proposals for its contemporary art program. Performing artists can be within the category of visual art\, poetry\, music\, and experimental\, among others. \nThis project is partially supported by a Chicago Arts Recovery Program grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.
