the artistic research
How do we reflect on our own work and our artistic practice? And can this kind of reflection take place in the presence of colleagues?
In this mini-workshop, we meet a group of artists working across choreography, performance, and visual arts, in the middle of their two-week residency at HAUT. The residency focuses on a performative reflection process, where the artists embody each other's artistic practices as a way to physically reflect on their own artistic work and the forms of production within which they are created.
With coffee and croissants on the table, we dive into a conversation with the artists to hear about their experiences. We hope that this artistic exploration will pique your curiosity and that you will want to start the day with us. The title Datamoshing refers to the process of messing with the data in media files, which creates visual or auditory glitch effects when a file is decoded or reproduced. This residency is a self-produced glitch in time, a distortion of speed, where one dares to be critical of one's own patterns and ways of practicing and producing art.
the artists
Datamoshing is the title of a performative reflection process initiated by Emilie Gregersen. During a two-week residency with Marina Dubia, Sigrid Stigsdatter, Paolo De Venicia, and Cruz Proxy, the group will merge and incorporate each other's artistic practices as a way of physically reflecting on their own artistic work and the forms of production within which they are created.
Emilie Gregersen
Emilie Gregersen (b. 1993, DK) (they/she) is an artist, choreographer, and dancer based in Copenhagen, and a co-founding member of Dance Cooperative. Their choreographic work bounces at the intersection of practice-based choreography and hyper-performance. Emilie often works with a high degree of performativity, where everything from gaze to gesture is executed with heightened attentiveness, aiming to evoke hypersensitivity in both performer and audience. Driven by sensory practices, their work explores intimacy, power dynamics, and the use of the senses. Through the uncanny, the erotic, and the cringe, Emilie playfully distorts images and movements to challenge binary perceptions and destabilize normative narratives.
Paolo de Venecia Gile
Paolo de Venecia Gile (they/them) is a Filipino-Swedish artist based in Copenhagen dealing with freelance galore. Partially trained as a nurse in Sweden, they completed formal studies in “contemporary” dance and choreography in Denmark in 2019. They often inhabit the role of performer in pieces signed by Malik Nashad Sharpe, Emilie Gregersen, Ofelia Jarl Ortega, Alex Blum, Adriano Wilfert Jesen among others. Their practice circles around how dance-ing might (re)produce & imaginaries on a material and affective level. They are part of Dance Cooperative, a self-organised platform & studio for intersectional feminist art practices.
Sigrid Stigsdatter
Sigrid Stigsdatter is a choreographer, performer, and member of Dance Cooperative and Jacuzzi, trained at SNDO.
Cruz Proxy
Cruz Proxy is a multidisciplinary artist, co-founder of the art group L9, and holds a master's degree from the Funen Art Academy.
