DROMEOSTASIS: INPUT / OUTPUT
Performance
Sun, Jun 25, 2023,
10:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
MoMA, Floor 6
The Steven and Alexandra Cohen
Center for Special Exhibitions
Dromeostasis: Input/Output derives its name from “homeostasis,” a state of dynamic equilibrium achieved through a system of self-regulating feedback. Artist Kamau Amu Patton performs this concept by activating Stan VanDerBeek’s installation Movie-Drome (1964–65) to create forms of electronic and sensory feedback. During this daylong performance, Patton channels VanDerBeek’s archival images and sounds as live inputs. The audiovisual collage process releases immersive, sonic, and cinematic “outputs”—what Patton calls a “simultaneous cybernetic cinema.”
During the closing weeks of Signals: How Video Transformed the World, Patton’s Dromeostasis: Input/Output engages VanDerBeek’s legendary project as a catalyst for new art, and highlights the exhibition’s history of video as a transformational media network.
The artist would like to thank Soft Network and the Stan VanDerBeek Archive, especially Chelsea Spengemann and Sara VanDerBeek.
Organized by Stuart Comer, The Lonti Ebers Chief Curator of Media and Performance, and Michelle Kuo, The Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture, with Piper Marshall, Exhibition Coordinator, and Eana Kim, Marica and Jan Vilcek Fellow, Department of Painting and Sculpture. Performance produced by Lizzie Gorfaine, Associate Director and Producer, with Kayva Yang, Assistant Performance Coordinator, Performance and Live Programs.
