Interactive Installation

UNMAKEABLELOVE is a revioning of Beckett’s initial investigation
in 'The Lost Ones' (1972) that focuses and makes interactively tangible,
a state of confrontation and interpolation between our selves and
another society that is operating in a severe state of physical and
psychological entropy. Through the immersive display system Re-Actor,
UNMAKEABLELOVE advances the practices of algorithmic agency, artificial
life, virtual communities, human computer interaction, augmented
virtuality, mixed reality and multimedia performance to engage ‘the
body’s primordial inscriptions’. It locates Beckett’s
society of ‘lost ones’ in a virtual space that represents
a severe state of physical confinement, evoking perhaps a prison,
an asylum, a detention camp, or even a ‘reality’ TV show.
