Digital media´s ability of digitisation and multimodality (edited and recorded-/ live-video), repetition (echoed live performance – both sound and video) and multiple distribution possibilities (the same material displayed from several projectors with different settings, angles) were applied and explored in this piece in order to repeat, contrast and conceptually expand the choreography. In this piece, the audience was placed in a situation where the disorienting effect and consequences of living in a relative, multi-informed and multi-mediated society were accentuated. Reproduction and distribution were utilised here conceptually in a way hardly viable to non-digital scenography.
