Asymptote – a Psychoperformance workshop using an interactive audiovisual environment

(Sunday 11:00)

Oskar Chmioła’s workshop is both a presentation of his original method of Psychoperformance and its practical enactment. Interaction with the application Anatomy of Uncertainty, with the Atlas of Symbolic Body Maps, and a screening of the film Au(c)tor. A Sketch for IndividuAction will prepare participants for a brief micro-act of the Asymptote Gesture – a symbolic action that serves to suspend automatisms, critically update one’s own status quo, and translate the intention of change into an everyday decision “afterwards”.
