TV Buddha except on the internet
A new dance by Glenn Potter-Takata
September 18th–20th at 8pm
Kestrels (188 6th St, Brooklyn, NY 11215)
Named after Nam June Paik’s 1974 sculpture, TV Buddha except on the internet is a performance work that comments on a mediated subjective experience. Inhabiting a contemporary butoh landscape, the piece abandons fixed notions of time through dance and moving image, connecting niche histories of civil disobedience in Japanese internment, Shingon Buddhist metaphysics, and the detached gaze of the consumer machine.
