THE BUG (AFTER MAYAKOVSKY)
THE BUG (After Mayakovsky) is a performance adaptation of one of the last plays by Russian futurist Vladimir Mayakovsky. The play introduces (1929) a science fiction plot popular already then and used many times since: a visitor to the future coming from a past that is our present. In Mayakovsky’s bitter and comic play, a soviet revolutionary is frozen in 1929 and reawakens in 1979 - by accident, a parasite accompanies him in this time travel. Using Mayakovsky's play as a guide, a collective author wants to analyze questions such as: What happens in a time lapse of 50 years? How to explain 50 years to someone who spent them in a coma? Is it true that history moves in cycles and there is an eternal return? Could we speak of glitches in this infinite repetition, and could we liken the glitch* to THE BUG? The shared disappointment of the man projected into the future and the inhabitants of that future forced to confront their original past is what helps us analyze our present moment in terms of repetition, melancholy, and action. The development of the project aims at studying and understanding collectively created and performed theater / performance, forming a collective made of different ages, experiences, and disciplines; the idea of collective going even beyond the artists' group. THE BUG (After Mayakovsky) adopts a format, the public rehearsal, that allows for instant feedback from the audience, and no one present is out of it, approaching even the assembly format.
*A glitch is a short-lived fault in a system, such as a transient fault that corrects itself, making it difficult to troubleshoot. A glitch, which is slight and often temporary, differs from a more serious bug which is a genuine functionality-breaking problem.
The production of the new performance is conceived as a preview of Dora Garcia's exhibition at M HKA in 2023 which takes as its starting point the artist's practice at the intersection of visual arts, performing arts and literature. It is a collaboration between M HKA, DeSingel (Antwerp) and Oslo National Academy of the Arts
The Second Shift
Get PDFAn inquiry into the centrality of work in our alleged age of automation and an argument for expanding the definition of work, to include household labor, care work and other forms of invisible labor. My hypothesis is that discussions around technology, either for or against, often serve to obscure the gendered and racialized division of labor in the globalized economy
Electrifying Opera, Amplifying Agency: Designing a performer-controlled interactive audio system for opera singers
Get PDFThis artistic research project examines the artistic, technical, and pedagogical challenges of developing a performer-controlled interactive technology for real-time vocal processing of the operatic voice. As a classically trained singer-composer, I have explored ways to merge the compositional aspects of transforming electronic sound with the performative aspects of embodied singing.
I set out to design, develop, and test a prototype for an interactive vocal processing system using sampling and audio processing methods. The aim was to foreground and accommodate an unamplified operatic voice interacting with the room's acoustics and the extended disembodied voices of the same performer. The iterative prototyping explored the performer's relationship to the acoustic space, the relationship between the embodied acoustic voice and disembodied processed voice(s), and the relationship to memory and time.
One of the core challenges was to design a system that would accommodate mobility and allow interaction based on auditory and haptic cues rather than visual. In other words, a system allowing the singer to control their sonic output without standing behind a laptop. I wished to highlight and amplify the performer's agency with a system that would enable nuanced and variable vocal processing, be robust, teachable, and suitable for use in various settings: solo performances, various types and sizes of ensembles, and opera. This entailed mediating different needs, training, and working methods of both electronic music and opera practitioners.
One key finding was that even simple audio processing could achieve complex musical results. The audio processes used were primarily combinations of feedback and delay lines. However, performers could get complex musical results quickly through continuous gestural control and the ability to route signals to four channels. This complexity sometimes led to surprising results, eliciting improvisatory responses also from singers without musical improvisation experience.
The project has resulted in numerous vocal solo, chamber, and operatic performances in Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United States. The research contributes to developing emerging technologies for live electronic vocal processing in opera, developing the improvisational performance skills needed to engage with those technologies, and exploring alternatives for sound diffusion conducive to working with unamplified operatic voices.

Research large format Photogravure: Researching historical print archives to integrate 'found' knowledge into post-digital printmaking workshops.
No full textPresented at Artistic Research Week 2023.I have for the past 25 years researched old photomechanical processes where my main focus has been especially photogravure or heliogravure on copper. I have also researched photoetching & collotype.
This lecture will concern research into historical print archives/institutions as well as interviews with persons & other relevant archives.
Current research involves researching European archives in reference to historical imprints, fragments, recovered & retrieved objects. This research is put into a framework of actions that consist of recycling of already printed information be it own artwork put into a new contextual framework or historically produced work from archives put into new form

Inserts in real time: Performance works 2000-2022
Get PDFOn the occasion of a retrospective exhibition at M KHA Antwerp, Belgium, Dora Garcia reflects on the connections and contaminations happening in her individual, collective and collaborative performance practice in the last 22 years. Important words in this investigation are public audience, tempora/ity, videoperformance, filmed theater, public space, social practice, real time, collective authorship, radica/ity, experimentalism. Dora Garcia is accompanied in these considerations, with the specific purpose to project them into a contemporaneity and a certainfuturology, by curator Joanna Zielinska, KHiO dance theory professor Bojana Cvejic, and author Sven Lütticken.
