NEST by Támas Páll is a 2 channel video
installation included in the current exhibiton
Monkeys,
Machines, and Multiperspectivities. Transmissions from Within the Ludic Mind at AIL, together with this live
performance, Támas Páll explores mediated worldmaking through a dispersed story of contemporary rituals.
The
installation is a manifestation of a research project of the same name, that probed questions of artificiality and sense-making
in relation to computation. In this iteration of NEST, the project is presented as a film set of a dreamwork
performance, where an alter-ego of a performer meets a film producer in a role-play scenario, where they construct a common
dream through digital and ancient cross-reality technologies. Dreamwork as a film and performance series
strings together dreamwork rituals envisioned and role-played through alter-egos and altered-states of consciousness.
Tamás Páll and Nicole Clore, the characters of the first chapter of Dreamwork, will augment the spatio-temporal
reality of the AIL through a guided tour of gamification in the exhibition. The performance invites the audience to participate
in a dreamwork ritual that goes beyond discussion, it reaches towards hallucination and enfleshing otherworlds, while being
grounded in the material reality of the here and now.
