Performance, Installation & New Media
Verdensteatret, for Concert for Greenland at P.S. 122
Statement from the jury:
Verdensteatret, Concert for Greenland
For building exquisite links between seemingly incompatible technologies and
materials-robots, video, piano, driftwood, and computers; for sharing their
succinctly visualized yet beautifully ambivalent relationship to hidden landscapes;
and for offering a poetically and emotionally evocative soundscape of a far-off
place in "Concert for Greenland" at P.S. 122.
