Double Blind (Love) - Telepresence performance :: Annie Abrahams: Living Room, Montpellier, France; November 29, 2009; 6:00 pm until the end of the performance :: Curt Cloninger: Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Asheville, North Carolina, US :: November 29; 12:00 pm until the end of the performance :: Live webcast.

Annie Abrahams and Curt Cloninger will repeatedly sing “love, love, love” (a short excerpt from a pop song) as a kind of duet, in real time/space and online. In order to isolate them from their surroundings and make them more attentive to the other, they will both be blindfolded. While singing they hope to evolve, mutating the original song excerpt, collaborating and communicating in a space/time of alterity. The artists have never met each other in the flesh.

There is no set duration. They will sing until the first one of them decides to stop. In both places a space will be reserved for the live performance and another for the video and audio projection. A camera will be fixed on each of their faces singing to each other. This live video of both faces will be projected both in the Living Room space and in the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center space. The performance will also be visible on the web at selfworld.net.
