Electronic Shamanism
Experimental Self-Hypnosis: Shapeshifting is an interactive audio performance that uses researched self-hypnosis techniques and experimental sound composition to explore the notion of hypnotically augmented reality. Working collaboratively in order to maximize the effectiveness of this performance, the sounds of 2Bears, the script of Hiebert and the voice of Adams come together to offer the audience an opportunity to engage in the possibilities of imaginative self-fashioning. In this lies the suggestion that autopoetic self-possession offers one potential way of reconstituting selfhood and performative identity in an age of technological possession.
