Echo Sequence

Part of The Parkette Projects, curated by Shani K Parsons

Gallery TPW with Ronnie Clarke

Held simultaneously at Don Panos Parkette & Robertson Parkette

Spanning a 12 km stretch across the city of Toronto, Echo Sequence comprises two simultaneous performances, livestreamed to and from Don Panos Parkette (in St. Clair West) and Robertson Parkette (on the Danforth). Each group of performers moves in relation to the other, maintaining visual and virtual contact through a large screen at each site. Embracing the inherent unpredictability, and often overlooked physicality, of our relationships with digital technology, artist Ronnie Clarke is interested in how tech interferes with our intentions, often to problematic, comedic, or poetic effect. Through mutual observation, experimentation, and play across a distance from two very different public spaces, might the performers meet and mirror a body politic more curious than concerned, more cooperative than chaotic?
