Program

VORBRENNER is a contemporary art platform that promotes process-oriented work across all disciplines and genres. It offers short-term opportunities for collaboration for both collectives and individual artists in search of new insights and contemporary forms of expression that engage with an interdisziplinary concept of art and science. The focus is on a movement that is curious, experimental, researching, and developing, that welcomes the unfinished, the paradoxical, and the fragmentary. For exploratory trials of such nature, VORBRENNER provides the BRUX premises along with infrastructure and financial resources.

Subvocal is a new hypnotic performance by Aapo Nikkanen and Raudie McLeod. It uses hypnosis and experimental sound design to create what the artists describe as an “opera for the mind.” In the performance, there is no physical set or visible cast: all elements of the stage are unique constructions by the unconscious of each member of the audience. In the piece, the audience is hypnotized and led through an unconscious maze that puts in question the limits of individual agency in a digitally mediated world. 

Subvocal is the second in a trilogy of performances that uses hypnosis to examine speculative futures and the socio-political effects of new technologies. The work treats the unconscious not as a neutral space, but as a contested site: a zone where neoliberal extraction, influence and psychological operations operate alongside the potential for emancipation and agency.

 

Duration: 45 minutes
Language: English, no subtitles (fair understanding of English required)
Disclaimer: The piece is not suitable for individuals suffering from photosensitive epilepsy.
