WSK 2015 takes the concept of relay and applies it to human interactions: human to human and human to machine. Coming from the 10-day Kampung Lab workshop, PROJECT RELAY functions as the festival highlight and serves as an interactive exhibition to showcase the live performance of the first human-robot orchestra in the Philippines. Featuring Tad Ermitaño [PH], Tetsu Kondo [JP], Fumitake “Bun” Tamura [JP], Bryan Day [US], Caliph8 [PH], and Malek Lopez [PH].
PROJECT RELAY will premiere during the opening on November 13 and is co-presented by collaborative platform WeAreSynesthesia.com. It will held at Green Sun’s The Eye, a 1,000 sq.m. venue fitted with superior acoustics and high-end Sony projection systems capable of blanketing the whole 360 degrees of the venue with visuals.
Prior to the performances, guests will have the opportunity to see the instruments up close and interact with them, as well as engage the creators in intimate one-on-one exchanges.
The second part will feature the actual concert showcasing this human-robot orchestra’s groundbreaking live performance, which is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
The afterparty: live DJ sets by WSK 2015 artist collaboration, with visuals powered by some of Manila’s best VJs. Tickets are at 600 PHP, inclusive of free-flowing drinks until supplies last.
