Collaborating virtually from their own homes, Kylee Smith and Davianna Green, MFA students in the Department of Dance, present an untitled digital performance from home — a live digital portrait of each artist and a rumination on rituals of rest and identity. Using digital technologies, the artists bring themselves together in virtual space via both live and pre-recorded material. By exploring portraiture as a generative site for countering social norms which often view Black women as interchangeable, the artists explore what it means to view one another as a digital double on screen. In doing so, they consider key aspects of their own identities and curate an intimate setting wherein they can find rest.
an untitled digital performance from home is presented in partnership with Urban Art Space’s Hybrid Arts Lab, a multi-venue learning lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed and understood.
