3 Singers in Chicago
3 Singers, the performance created by Erica Mott Productions that took place in Chicago was truly a cohesive example of history meets art meets tech within an exhibition space. The technopera - “a performative convergence of vocal and electronic music composition, interactive technology, sound installation, choreography and video in an evolving and immersive installation” which was performed last month at the National Museum of Health and Medicine Chicago has now come to a close, but the interactive exhibit which acts as an extension of the piece is open until tomorrow Feb 20th. Exhibition designer Hugh Sato melds the ideas presented in the 3 Singers performance into an exhibit featuring topics on women’s rights in the textile industry with specific interest in “voice, labor, and migration”. The multi-screen space features interactive examples of industrial, textile, and migration motifs, inviting the viewer to experience the connections between all three in an a cohesive and tech-friendly environment.
