Memory Bank by Matthias Oostrik

DNA, New York, 2007,video by Matthias Oostrik in collaboration with Bridgeman Packer Dance

In Memory Bank, the alchemy of living form and virtual image expands into an exploration of time and its role in intimacy, identity, and perception. Sections of Memory Bank were developed using custom-designed time-delay software by Matthias Oostrik, allowing the performers' images to be recorded and then projected back at delayed intervals. The past collides with the present, creating an altered reality removed from the usual past/present/future framework.

The performers enter, exit and move within the video images projected on screens created from layers tulle and satin, conjuring up an other-worldly environment of memory and the subconscious. At times, their live and virtual selves are mixing, swirling, interfering, and colliding with each other.

Grammy Award-winning composer/percussionist Glen Velez has created an evocative, polyrhythmic percussion score rich in resonant textures.
