About
Disembodied Head is an intermedia performance series that utilized new technologies and performance in varied ways to look at the separation anxiety and desires of the body and mind at moments of disconnect. The work examines what happens when the natural connection of the mind and body is inhibited by a factor like Alzheimer’s, which inhibits the mind, or spinal injury, which causes paralysis of the body. The work also looks at moments of interconnectivity and separation that occur when the human body and mind interact with and/or develop a dependence upon technologies such as machines.
