Scan Lines is a collaboration between movement, sound, and video inspired by transformational visions of energy leaving the body and returning to the universe. The mix of organic and electronic sounds, combined with human movement and analog video speak to the duality of our modern spiritual landscape.

Bodies move through effects. The video signal morphs, the movement reacts, and the signal is born and dies a thousand times. This meditative state lets the mind explore the the eventual release into oneness. The performance evokes the human potential to witness our eventuality.

Inspired by Kim Alpert’s design and study of entheogenic meditations, this work focuses on her personal journey to sit with loss. Through taking active participation in personal grief practices she explores the experience of the transference of universal energy; from body to light.

This practice is part of Alpert’s process to understand and transmute death by sitting as the witness of momentary totality. To find a calming uncertainty like that of watching a single string untangle.

The performance, like these mediations themselves, has the fluidity to change in each incarnation revealing new information as it unfolds.
