A-touch De-touch

Juraj Kojs will create A-touch De-touch, an experimental interdisciplinary work that develops the metaphor of prosthesis as a vehicle for expressing our attachment to and detachment from the world. Eight performers (4 Spider and 4 Ant characters) will build an ecosystem that engages audience members in tactile interactions through analog and digital body extensions such as kitchen utensils, tennis rackets, violin bows, wireless cameras, Wii game controllers, iPads and iPhones. The project will be premiered in a black box theater in Miami in the spring 2012. Juraj Kojs is a Slovakian composer, performer, multimedia artist, producer, researcher and educator living in the US. He is the director of Foundation for Music Technologies (FETA) in Miami, FL.
