Blender Love is a modern day séance for cell phones using interactive performance and live cinema.
Dead batteries, dropped calls, and failed relationships will be resurrected, temporarily, so that we can communicate with that other world. Through a series of structured séances, artists Hillerbrand + Magsamen and playwright Kirk Lynn, invite the general public to bring their cell phones into the Fusebox Festival. An intimate carnival tent will house these one on one (on one) performances between a fortune teller and you (and the voice of those who are trying to get through). Together we’ll draw out the spirits of miscommunication and memory, expose the currents of confusions coursing through our lives, and map the mixed messages which have made us what we are. The artists will work collaboratively, combining their experiences with interactive theater (Kirk Lynn) and video installation (Hillerbrand + Magsamen). Blender Love provides a way to interact, entertain and question the values of technology by actively engaging with culture and addressing the issues and concerns of our time. Marshall McLuhan stated that “We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us.”
BLENDER LOVE is an interactive installation that will only take you 5 or ten minutes to enjoy
