I want to run again
movement artist and interactive media
year composed: 2025 | 6 minutes
about the piece: "I Want to Run Again" is a performance piece for a movement artist and audiovisual media generated and controlled through TouchDesigner. In the piece, the artist introduces their goal of running again, providing context about a neurological event that took away their ability to run. They explain that they have designed a test, loosely based on the FitnessGram PACER Test, to monitor their progress in returning to running. The test measures how long the artist can keep up with its pace, which, like the PACER Test, progressively gets faster. As the pace increases, the artist eventually fails to reach one side in the allotted time, triggering error messages. The piece investigates the feeling of surveillance that I associate with my disability, forcing myself to perform within a synthetic environment that amplifies this experience. There is no prescribed agenda for the work, but in composing the music and movement, I have discovered a hopeful interpretation of my efforts: that there is something inspiring and beautiful in not succeeding.
