More is More #08 Physical realm in a Digital world challenges Brigitte Huezo (Choreographer, Dancer and Performer) and Maren Butte (Department of Media- and Culture Studies, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf) to answer the question of performing arts digital production: what can the digital world can bring to the physical realm? and if YES, then HOW?
Brigitte Huezo (they/them Pronouns) is a dancer, performer and choreographer. They were born in El Salvador and currently work and live in Cologne. They earned a BA in Dance at the University of Music and Dance Cologne (2021) with the support of the DAAD and private scholarships. They are interested in deconstructing our perception of the body and its future in an increasingly technological and virtual world. The last work cycle 2020-2021 “Portraits” involved research that brings together hybrid, non-binary identities and the classical genre of ‘Portrait’ in paintings. Presently they conduct a research on the body e.g. in the field of cyberfeminism on a long term project “DEAD CODE MUST BE ALIVE!” Using the metaphor of an endless dystopian body of data, it explores the hyperreal visibility of cyberfeminism in hybrid spaces. linktr.ee/Brigitte.Huezo, https://www.instagram.com/_brig_hz/
