sister Os arrival from the underwater data base ~ ~ * * ~ (((+))) ~ * O

As the new millennium stretches out before us, sister O is coming out of the murky shadows and staking her claim as the rightful heiress to the post-industrial new dark ages. Etching upon the landscapes and organs of her descendants, sister O's cosmos is disparate, tendrillar and debased. A netherworld held together with the grinding sounds of her divination tools, technology that functions to trigger sounds that re-educate the cells. sister O is also receiver, a vessel, and an interface for subjugated knowledge’s, logics and entities to transmit.

sister O frequently portrayed as an unrivalled beauty, a consort of a prince, driven to drowning by his strange ways, who lies prostrate. As she continued sinking deeper into a transcendental state, through the water, secret messages were channelled to her in this horizontal state, about a New World disOrder by her illegitimate Sister. sister O seized the original tool of rupture and permeated the membrane of her prone, damned and mythical deadlock. sister O is on a quest to re-circuit the landscapes, which she is portrayed to commonly inhabit, highly unsatisfied and misunderstood, she is now in the business of re-definition. To realise women's potential sister O has to first recode all cells from the well written Platonic archetypes that confine identity, to spiralic patterns that enable action and potentiality. The action of re-educating the organ, also ruptures well-circuited relationships. To re-fuse the mechanism, sister O combines electronic sound, dance, and light, fusing highly sophisticated technological means with an insistence on the beauty and wonder of the universe, differently apprehended from these margins, borders and boundaries she inhabits.

In this performance installation the sister O depicts what she has imagined as an initiation story, the journey of sister O learning the wisdom of the new dark ages, a time where women possess strange powers over their dreams and the use of tools that interrupt communication by subverting the strategies that trap perception and desire. sister O like so many great, beautiful and damned women of the past, sank far down into the mulch, drawn there by various traps of inertia; a rampant virus for these women who are a dangerous supplement, challenging, destabilising, relativising, pluralising single notions of true Culture, Reason, Broadcasting, Art. Indeed, in sister O’s has dragons to slay - the battery of life must be recoded to subvert the social realities of patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism's command. For too long sister O has had a cyclical history, but now she turns cyclic patterned codes of data into spiralic lines of force.
