AUGORG PROJECTs OVERVIEW

Dance Film Experiences

Directed and filmed by audiovisual designer Cy Gorman, starring  interdisciplinary artist Jazmyne Geis, the Augmented Organism films journey through stunning landscapes, developing movements and evolving archetypes.

Strongly emotive and augmented movements are performed by both the central character and the cinematographer to further integrate the inherent connection between the observer and the observed. A rich and immersive experience of identity and environment can be seen and understood in the research area of the site.

Live Work, Site specific & Installation ART

Each of the AUGORG dance films are interpreted and amalgamated into either a live installation or site specific performance work. Sometimes both.

The live AUGORG performance installations and site specific works include dance/movement, deep audiovisuals, photography/video and poetry. A large part of the work involves ceremonial landscape designs based on geographic location and surrounding cultural, natural, and sociopolitical conditions.

Research & Workshops

Creative development and production phases of AUGORG:

• The creation of co-designed ceremonial space and performance

• Production design for movement and audiovisual performance works

• Interactive dance-filmmaking processes and workshops

AUGORG Research:

Focuses on digital media design, performance + ceremony design, and interdisciplinary workshops that integrate the following: 

• Alternative methodologies for the creation of environmental landscape designs, for the purpose of ritual and healing

• Audiovisual harmonic data informed by observations of relationships between identities and environmental and geographic conditions

• Examining the potential for holistic relationships between environmentalism, technology and mythology

• Exploring identities as environments and environments as identities
