AlienNation Co. is a laboratory for cross-cultural,
multimedia production. Research has evolved organically out of several collaborative
performance projects. Over the past years, AlienNation Co. has been exploring
the connections between live performance and interactive digital art, devising
new processes of composition that combine choreography with real time synthesis,
video, acoustic and electronic music, telepresence, and visual arts/plastic processes.
Experimenting with either site-specific/cross-cultural or conceptual performance
materials, AlienNation has been concerned with physical-emotional experience (in
the body) and with the ideology of visual objects/images. Its experimental work
includes theatre and dance pieces, installations, film concerts, streaming media,
along with video production, CD/CD-ROMs, documentation, and writing.
The work addresses issues of our time and our various, overlapping cultural experiences.
In collaborative environments with artists in other locations, it contributes
to the crossing of borders and the exchange of creative dialogues in the world.
