‘future self’ is the newest performative installation by random international, presented for the first time in a collaboration with wayne mcgregor who choreographed a new piece for the production and accompanied by a score written by max richter composed in relation to the structure of light. arranged specifically for the exhibition’s opening, two dancers took to the ‘stage’ physically communicating with one another as well as with their own reflections through the sculptural monolith which measures 1200 x 1500 x 3450 mm in dimension and is composed of aluminium, custom electronics, 3D cameras, LEDs, and brass rods. their performance unified dance, music and artwork with the human form in an immediate experience for the audience, offering a full introductory sequence to ‘future self’.

the interactive work by random international is a study in human movement mirroring interaction in dance, light and sound, while exploring the self – present and future. it attempts to reveal what it can about one’s identity and the relationship which we have with our own self image reflecting and rendering one’s movements in light resulting in a three-dimensional ‘living’ sculpture, derived from the composite gestures of those who surround it; represented in an illuminated presence – another version of themselves. the project is commissioned and supported by MADE.
