Torn Space Presents
runtime / a performance in two threads by Groupwork
A live audio-visual performance exploring the loop between memory and motion
Date: May 9, 10, 16, 17 – 8:30pm
Venue: 612 Fillmore Ave. Buffalo, NY 14212
Part of the in.sight performance series
Supported by the Cullen Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts
runtime initiates the in.sight performance series—an ongoing investigation into technology-mediated expression and embodied systems of code, light, sound, and space.
Drawing from Groupwork’s background in ambient rave design and environmental curation, runtime blurs the boundaries between signal and surface, score and system. The performance moves not forward but through—looping, refracting, synchronizing.
runtime is recognition through repetition—meaning built from echo.
