DREADMILL
during studio recording |
Are
you sitting right now? DREADMILL
is a project about the collusion
of death and technology (NECROMEDIA). It critiques the increasing immobility
of the body in a screen culture. The
dreadmill device is a treadmill hardwired to a computer so that a runner/walker's
speed and heart rate drive a multimedia display. DREADMILL
is currently on tour as part of a performance piece in which Marcel
O'Gorman discusses technology, death, and the body while running through
a display of 5-7 km. This
project was designed in the student-centered learning context of Electronic
Critique, an interdisciplinary degree progam at the University of Detroit
Mercy.
For additional information, and requests for performances, lectures,
or installations, contact Professor Marcel O'Gorman, Director of Electronic
Critique, and designer of DREADMILL. |
