Immersive, multimedia noise performance by STUDIO ZYKLOS
(Melody Chua & Chi Him Chik)
“every seven years we are literally, completely new beings.
every cell, dead and replaced.
we wonder, how all these new cells have remembered
how to be alive in the way
of their dead ancestors,
and what ghosts, when understood,
make us whole.”
STUDIO ZYKLOS is an ensemble and lab comprised of Melody Chua and Chi Him Chik—The core of ZYKLOS’ practice is performing with self-developed improvisation machines (Aiii and AIYA) in order to challenge their methods of improvisation and push them to find new ways of human-machine interaction, collaboration, and production. ZYKLOS aims to destabilize traditional hierarchies of human and machine, create innovative formats for music performance, and develop narratives beyond the anthropologic gaze. Personal storytelling through interactive media is at the heart of everything ZYKLOS does—a more-than-human dialogue of understanding that takes the form of music-making, translation, and movement across different bodies, both visible and invisible.
