Lorem Tesh AV _IT
Lorem is an individual/multiple identity working across sound and media by exploring states of consciousness and emotional datasets through visceral narrative AV experiences. The project is directed by Francesco D’Abbraccio, creative co-director of Krisis Publishing. In the wake of his recent installation Distrust Everything, Lorem presents his new live AV, Tesh. This is the performative version of the work's new chapter. Based on a weird, adventurous screenplay, the AV set combines transcriptions of dreams and weird literature through the use of machine learning systems.

Weaving sonic and narrative elements within Lorem's skewed and oneiric imagery Tesh is a hymn to imagination as an escape route from the realism that burdens our language and our experience of the world.
