Arcade Amerikana

Spectators are bombarded with images from all sides in this ambitious immersive multimedia piece, devised by the performance collective Arcade and performed within a 360-degree projection cube. Set at a recovery center for people struggling with virtual addictions in a dystopian very-near future, the show draws inspiration from cultural theory (by Franco "Bifo" Berardi and Hito Steyerl, among others) as it investigates the impact of technology on our senses of ourselves, with special attention to queer identities. Lio Mehiel directs the ravey production, which has been set up in Building 6 of the massive Industry City complex.
