The Builders Association/dbox: SUPER VISION

“The Builders Association is itself an innovator in multimedia theatre, using video, animation, sampled sounds and god-knows-what sorts of computerized gizmos to produce gorgeous illusions.” —The Village Voice

The Obie Award-winning performance company The Builders Association (Alladeen) and digital design studio dbox reveal a society in which “dataveillance” goes beyond anything Orwell ever imagined. Dive into this fresh, funny, and often disturbing combination of cutting-edge computer-generated animation, new video techniques, electronic music, and live performance. SUPER VISION probes three absorbing, intertwining, and all too-close-to-home stories drawn from the datasphere that explore the dangerous minefield of lives reduced to data.
