ornate saturation is the steady glide of a configuration turning itself inside out, collapsing, ornamenting, carving, gulping, destroying, and resurrecting itself.
the piece proceeds from the idea that sensory overload leads to numbness. through bombarding the senses with fragmentary impressions, modern technology drugs the organism. the result is a simultaneity of overstimulation and numbness.
the performance emerges from the murky interstices of this overload, not born of clarity, but of the cognitive and bodily sludge left in the wake of information saturation. out of this disorienting fog, a terrain takes shape, one created in the wake of sensory exhaustion.
