Brooklyn's BRIC Arts | Media presents BRIClab, a commissioning and residency program that offers local artists time and space to explore and expand the possibilities of their work in music, dance, theater and multi-disciplinary performance. In February, BRIClab will present work-in-progress showings of LOOKING AT YOU, an immersive techno-noir music-theater piece confronting the issue of privacy in our digitized society and the question of how loss of privacy could transform us as a global culture.
LOOKING AT YOU has a score by composer Kamala Sankaram and a libretto by Rob Handel, head of dramatic writing at Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. The project was born out of the the artists' encounter with Alessandro Acquisti's work at Carnegie Mellon’s Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory. Acquisti is collaborating on creating the technology for the piece. LOOKING AT YOU is directed by Kristin Marting, Artistic Director of HERE and Founding Co-Director of Prototype Festival.
