Orchestra of Anxiety

LITERAL:
Orchestra of Anxiety
15th September- 24th October 2005
For this new work to be first shown at Watermans Gallery, London-based artists Manu Luksch and Mukul Patel expand their ongoing explorations of the concept of security. While ‘security’ can be seen as desire, as ideology, as illusion but never as a garuanteed status quo, socio-political measures of control, … have been implemented in the name of security. The security industry is one of the fastest growing sectors this decade, and is worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually. The participative installation piece, Orchestra of Anxiety, deploys security and surveillance technologies in an unusual and playful context, prompting visitors to reflect on their personal sense of security and their relationship with public fears (of petty crime, terrorism, etc.).

Orchestra of Anxiety is produced by inter-disciplinary arts production company ambientTV.NET. ambientTV.NET highlights models of networked and collaborative practice. Techniques and effects of data transmission provide theme, medium and performative space for works spanning installation, performance, documentary, dance, gastronomy, and live sound and video art. Much of the film and music production is freely disseminated through the website www.ambientTV.NET.
