Shadow
Casters project introduction:
Shadow
Casters is intricate and complex interdisciplinary and multimedia
performance (research) which uses and read the city and many of his
multilayered aspects as 3D hyper-textual matrix.
In
its creation rise from specific group dynamic work(shop) guided by
members of core team (up to five people) and executed together with
dozen of local and international artists, activists and
professionals.
The
project will also involve large number of local citizens
(professionals, students, workers, etc.) in direct creation and many
of their fellow citizens as spectators. Its express particular
philosophical (and political) view on today’s world as it guides
audience through the city on choice and chance bases (each spectator
must by herself/himself determine individual path consciously
choosing between different options and by taking responsibility upon
her/his decisions).
And
last but not least, the Shadow Casters event in this way becomes a
new urban document in the city history evidencing (underlying,
illuminating, zooming-up, etc.) his past stories and invoking his
future (political and human) destiny.
Shadow
casters project pragmatics
Shadow
Casters is
an artistic project that unites various media and a diversity of
methods in a specific creative exploration of different cities of the
world. Each city is a territory to be read and re-mapped
(re-semantisized) by an international Shadow
Casters crew
that joins professionals from various fields - from arts and
architecture to music and science - and of different generations, in
order to conceive an interactive multi-facetted and multi-centered
performance voyage. Thus each city is a Shadow
Casters project
for itself: a new ground to be explored by a new creative team.
Shadow
Casters is
therefore a network of several projects that are united by similar
methods, principles and visions.
The
production of Shadow
Casters in
a single city is divided in two phases that take place within at
least one-month distance.
With
Shadow
Casters,
the artistic team creates a multimedia framework for audience
members’ individual journeys of discovery, through which they are
invited to follow the artists’ lead and create their own paths
through the city, interweaving subjective experiences with the events
planted by the work’s creators and the ever unfolding City that
ultimately is the “lead player” of this work.
Shadow
Casters could be seen as
a treasure hunt/city voyage. Receiving information and clues one step
at a time, audience members travel by foot, public transportation or
the Web to unknown and familiar locations, public and private spaces,
open air and indoor sites. Throughout the journey, they make myriad
of choices: which of the many clues to follow, whether to participate
in a variety of everyday and unusual human interactions, or simply to
observe them, or for how long to travel.
Shadow
Casters interlaces
various media (Web, Digital Video and Audio, Urban Performing and
Dance,...) and various methods in order to:
- Discover new and unknown aspects of the city, its beauty and idiosyncrasies, its multi-layered and multicultural nature, its social, urbanistic and human specifics, arising from the past and embedding itself in the present
- Explore identity problems, decision-making processes and links between society and responsibility, especially in the light of confronting different cultural backgrounds, experiences and habits of the project’s participants
- Read the city as hyper-space in time-spatial, historical, political, social, game-like and metaphysical sense
- Bring a large number of diversified audiences to art and performance work - surpass the limits of the usual “art crowd” and offer the event to citizens of Nairobi from all strata
- Introduce new ways of storytelling and possible approaches to new media communication tools, such as narration in digital media and its possible use within the traditional performance frame
