Performance for Aging Apple Devices

7x iphone / ipad / imac

A/V Performance

2020

Performance for aging Apple devices is a composition which uses facetime video calls between damaged and discarded iPads, iPhones, and iMacs - and the nuances and limitations they produce - as a catalyst for new expanded cinema. The piece builds upon Richardson’s continued exploration into modes of appropriation of ubiquitous and outmoded media, and takes a playful approach to structualist work. The performance is designed to be live streamed (and viewed) on multiple devices.


Performance for aging Apple devices was co-presented by PLATFORM centre and The Art Gallery of Regina and performed and live streamed on June 1st and 4th 2020.
