Description

This podcast is about the imagined performance of Flowting. It has developed from established writing on the psychological concept of Flow, particularly those from Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi and Jenova Chen. For this piece, my presence is both relevant and irrelevant, for my pathway translates into my own experience of flow, that another person could walk into the space and experience following the laid out pathway. They could move at their own pace, so as to maintain their own flow, with their speed and length of strides determined by them. The piece is heavily inspired by fl0w, the game designed by Chen to trigger flow experiences. The space and atmosphere is designed to emulate the early game of flOw, with the gentle soundtrack from the game playing aloud and a blue wash in the colour of the game’s background. With this performance I would partially bring the game to life. With this piece I want to encourage people to explore Flow in their lives, so that they can have happier, more fulfilled, stress-free experiences. I believe that this is especially important considering that this is a university project, where stress is high for both students and faculty. So, try to flowt in your own lives.
