IN PERSON

CREATED AND PERFORMED BY EMILY MICHAELS KING

2022

In a companion piece to her acclaimed virtual performance, DIGITAL, Emily Michaels King brings her fearless vulnerability and inventive use of technology into the flesh.

IN PERSON is a multimedia performance by Emily Michaels King that uses a complex network of devices to examine parasympathetic freeze, survival, and reclamation. This distorted and intricate mixture of device pairing, screen mirroring, choreography, and projection is an endoscopic plunge into one’s internal hard drives, digital and otherwise, for proof of life and who we are despite it all. Performed solo alongside machine companions, IN PERSON thrusts flesh against RAW file and wires the virtual to the human.
