No strings attached? Finding new ways of communicating

Saskia Kroonenberg, Dayna Martinez Morales, Natalia Helena Salloum and Vincent Verburg

About

”No strings attached? Finding new ways of communicating” is a multimedia reflection on bodily movement after progress based on poetry, science, and dance. Speaking different languages and trying to understand each other, bodies and voices ask what acceleration/slowing down of a body is and how movement relates to time and space. If there is no linearity, no final goal that bodies move towards, what function does movement have in our lives and in our relations to each other and the world? ”No strings attached?“ shows the struggle of being stuck. It shows the impossibility to move forward, as well as the impossibility to stay. All living beings share this one planet in which “we” can feel so detached at times. We, after progress, are in need of speaking and thinking in non-linear ways. There is no acceleration without slowing down.
