Narrating Our Lines

plan b (Sophia New & Daniel Belasco Rogers) will present a new performance at Volt where they will be working with their GPS tracks that they have now been collecting for several years, out of a desire to see a drawing of their lives. The work in progress performance lecture will be presented at the gallery Rom 8 at Bergen National Academy of the Arts.

They will be redrawing their movements over the last year in their home city Berlin and trying to narrate the animation of all of their tracks – remembering what they were doing, and where exactly they were going. As we move around more and technology allows us to record those journeys – how does that begin to affect our experience of time, space and movement?

plan b is Sophia New and Daniel Belasco Rogers. Since 2002 they have been making work together collaboratively as well as pursuing solo projects. The output of the collaboration has seen performance work, installations, large scale new media projects for European festivals such as steirischer herbst and the Festival of Flanders and fine art exhibitions of their GPS practice of recording everywhere they go. Their work has been presented in institutions in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Japan and North America. This will be the first time that plan b has presented work in Norway.
