New York City performance company Big Art Group creates hallucinatory theatrical environments through real-time film projections. The company uses the language of media and blended states of performance in a unique form to build "culturally transgressive" works. As the action unfolds in their most recent work, a forest of technology records each scene from multiple angles and rebroadcasts them to the audience on a network of screens. The confluence of visual stimuli functions as a "discomfiting commentary on our times", evoking reality TV, digital data streams, screen addiction, and the future of virtual reality. Big Art Group's latest piece, SOS, uses the audience as an active editor, whose individual attention produces a unique narrative from the sensory overload. S.O.S. utilizes ten performers and a video matrix that inhabit a multi-camera, multi-screen installation. If you agreed with me that Ben Jones pieces in collaboration with Paper Rad's site were a lot this experimental piece is even more.
