Seeking tremulous bodily states, liminal thresholds, invoking dematerialisation and transmutation, in this work we ask what happens if the thing we are pretending to do actually manifests? 

In Evaporative Body, Multiplying Body we are exploring adaptive methods for simulating ghosting, psychic projection and dimensional energetic shifts.

Alan Schacher and WeiZen Ho inhabit shifting spaces through refracted and dissolving visual fields. Traversing flickering boundaries of tremulous bodily states, their arena is one of suspended belief, where pretense and manifestation collide. Fausto Brusamolino’s generative visuals and the sonic depths created by noise artist Hirofumi Uchino’s audioscapes invoke the improbable to manifest.
