TV Buddha Except on the Internet

About the show
Inhabiting a contemporary butoh landscape, TV Buddha except on the internet is a dance trio that critiques a mediated subjective experience and reshapes a sense of self through the use of moving image. Named after Nam June Paik’s 1974 sculpture, delayed video loops fold the work back on itself and flattens the distance between niche histories of civil disobedience in Japanese internment, Shingon Buddhist metaphysics, and the detached gaze of the consumer machine.
