#ALPHALOOP

produced by deletere and Crossed Lab
2020

#ALPHALOOP proposes to experiment with the imagined practice of techno-shamanism. The audience is led by two guides - HIM and the META - in a collective and theatrical spiritual adventure. Equipped with mixed reality headsets, the community carefully explores its environment, a new perception of the landscape is emerging. The spectators walk to regain control of their bodies, paying attention to their new perceptions. The reaction of the street is decisive depending on the unexpected it can generate.

Intention

#ALPHALOOP is a project implemented by the artist Adelin Schweitzer which is approaching the theme of the sacred through the prism of the imagined practice of techno-shamanism, stating that there is no dual opposition between Nature and Technology, no structural difference between computers and other “natural” manifestations of reality.

It is freely inspired by Timothy Leary’s theories on cybernetic shamanism and is based on a research trip on myths and cultures of northern Quebec. This trip produced in Abitibi between August and September 2018 reinforced the dramatic writing of a work that takes a critical and unique look at the technologies of Extended Reality (XR), the ideology of innovation, and spirituality.

The Caracters

HIM  : a humanist, now shaman, trying to reconcile the homo technologicus with his origins. During his journeys in the Multiverse, he invoked the META to help him in his mission.

THE META  : a technomancer, supernatural creature coming from another dimension, able to perceive and manipulate the flow of information generated by machines.

THE PERFORMANCE

The performance lasts about 50 minutes for a maximum of 5 people 5 times a day. It is envisioned as a path for participants to follow, guided by HIM and accompanied by the META.

Participants are invited to arrive at the time and address indicated. They are supported by an assistant who will lead them to the META.

The latter will then equip them one by one with mixed reality glasses and a closed headset that will become, for a time, their new artificial perception organs.

The spectators walk, following HIM. They walk to regain control of their bodies, paying attention to their new perceptions. The reaction of the street is decisive depending on the unexpected it can generate and the variation on the partition of the two comedians.

Once the experiment is over, each participant is invited in the following evening to leave a telephone message about how he felt.
