Join us on Thursday, February 26 for a LGBTQ+ mixer hosted by Brigita Gedgaudas.
Working from research in glitch and motion capture that has surfaced in the most recent iteration of “Be Vardų, Be Kojų" (Without Names, Without Legs), this workshop will delve into generating movement through glitching. Using a Kinect sensor asa portal into the digital realm, we will transmute our bodies into digital aliens, witnessing and responding to the glitch in translation as our bodies map onto non-human entities. We pose questions to these aliens, using our movement and gesture, and they mimic in response, a human gesture with specific connotations dissipates and creates new meaning. What do these new meanings open up to us? Can this cross platform/realm interaction open our imaginations to dream of new ways of being together?
This seasonal gathering offers a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ community members to connect, mingle, discuss your latest projects, and spark potential collaborations.
About the Host
Brigita Gedgaudas is an emerging protean, trans*, diasporic-Lithuanian artist working in so-calledToronto weaving together a life-long engagement in Lithuanian folk culture and training in Punking/Whacking/Waacking, vertical dance, and new media art techniques. Reconciling the dissonance between their restrictive cultural and expansive gender identity, Brigita's work finds home in glitching as a generative error to imagine a future-queer-Lithuanian tradition. Trans*muting between the physical/human and the digital/alien, Brigita explores the abject —embodying the everything-nothing potentials of voids.
Working rhizomatically, Brigita’s speculations have been screened/exhibited/performed at FADO, The Bentway, F-O-R-M, Buddies in BadTimes Theatre, T.Q.F.F., Whippersnapper Gallery, SummerWorks and more. Brigita has also received awards from VTape and OCAD University for their ongoing work,“Be Vardų, Be Kojų”. Working with Diana Lopez Soto, Tamas Marquardt, Vanessa Godden, Hercinia Arts Collective, Chimerik 似不像 and more in myriad capacities ranging from projection and graphic designer, programmer, performer, photographer, and videographer they find themselves deeply interested in innovative cross-disciplinary collaboration.
