Mixing stand-up comedy, TED talk, concert and VJing, SCREENAGERS Vol. 2 revisits some of the ways in which the Internet has impacted our lives and affected our collective imagination.
Rooted in the fact that songs have traditionally served as repositories of common experience, as a way to bridge generational gaps, SCREENAGERS Vol.2 is a kind of DIY musical comedy about the chaotic deluge of our online lives. The performer uses her online activities – clicks, messaging, status updates and browser history – as material for creating songs, turning her online life into an epic story, written unconsciously and effortlessly while surfing the Web.
Emphasising the performative nature of our online lives, spectators can interact directly with the show via their smartphones: they can collectively write the lyrics of a song, play a video game, send photos or appear on stage as memes and avatars. Like all of Giuseppe Chico’s and Barbara Matijević’s work, the piece is a testimony to our multi-tabbed world – it creates a space where we can collectively uncover new stories and metaphors through thoughtful and poetic meditations on the complex relationship between man, consumer technologies and the media.
