Particle
Live audio visual performance by D-Fuse in collaboration with Novak
as part of Reinventing the City

Friday 2 October
18:30 – 21:00
Great North Museum: Hancock, Newcastle Upon Tyne


Cities exist on several different levels. Places that we know and live  
in have been superseded by spaces of flows, webs of connections for  
communication, exchange and control that have come to transcend the  
limitations of actual physical space. Traditional ideas of territory  
(spatial as well as ideological) have almost been dissolved in this  
process, while new centres of power are emerging at the nodal points  
that regulate the flows of global networks.

Particle alludes to this fragmented reality of everyday life,  
deconstructing the urban fabric to reveal a city that exists as much  
in an immaterial web of connections as it does in actual space.  
Evading the allure of indiscriminate technological utopianism,  
Particle also probes the faultlines and frictions that arise between  
the realms of the virtual and that of lived experience. Working with  
the renowned North East collective Novak for this show, D-Fuse will  
incorporate the sights and sounds of Tyne & Wear into the live  
performance to create a stunning and evocative new work featuring our  
unique locale.

This version of Particle has been specially created for Reinventing  
the City, a festival  celebrating 200 years of Urban Imagination on  
Tyneside: 19 Sep to 11 Oct  2009.
