Online En-semble - Entanglement Training
a live networked performance by Annie Abrahams in collaboration with Antye Greie(DE/FI),Helen Varley Jamieson(NZ/DE),Soyung Lee(KR),Huong Ngô(HK/USA),Daniel Pinheiro(VE/PT),Igor Štromajer (SI/DE), and the students from the School of Art, Design & Media, Singapore. All connecting from remote locations.
Aiming to investigate how-to’s of being together in a connected world Annie Abrahams developed a conversational environment where the performers seek to negotiate the limits of their own agency by collectively interacting and creating a space through the sum of the relationships between between objects, sounds and phrases.
Thursday 29 of March 2018, 7am-10am CDT / 8am-11am EDT / 2pm-5pm CEDT / 8pm-11pm SGT. (Performance will take place around 9.30pm SGT)
This performance was part of the Art of Networked Practice Symposium - Social Broadcasting: an Unfinished Communications Revolution - a collaboration between the School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore; LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore; and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Department of Performance, USA.
Symposium Chair: Randall Packer (Associate Professor of Networked Art; Nanyang Technological University (NTU), School of Art, Design and Media, Singapore)

on “Online En-semble - Entanglement Training” by Annie Abrahams reflecting on the performance made during ‘Art of the Networked Practice Online Symposium - Third Space Network’:
co-creating between/with each others and with/through machines, building a common space of shared practice and practicing it in a distributed manner. A distributed intelligence simultaneously activated between its agents (performers and active viewers - engaging on producing textual content).
to (re)think the network through these experiments towards the production of a collectiveness as we evolve to a futurity where regulations endanger the promises of distributed agency through this space.
Are we at the moment where these networked environments, these topographies of networked experience, are not just an option but a way to reflect on the changes that are happening? - Daniel Pinheiro
distributed intelligence on the fly? Blog post by Annie Abrahams after watching the video recording of the performance.
“It felt as closely observing a test tube in an internet ecology experiment. (…) I would love to do a follow-up, to continue this entanglement training. I propose to keep this messy never ending unperfect strange conversation going …. it would be an example, a test tube for developping our empathy muscles over distance, to exercice in distributed intelligence. … Séoul, Singapore, Ljubljana, Hailuoto, München, Montréal, Cassis and Montpellier and all the cables and machines in between” - Annie Abrahams
