| Summary: | 'Play & Productivity' by Daniël Ploeger, a Dutch performer and multimedia artist, is an installation performance that took place in Kunstwerkplaats KipVis, Vlissingen, Netherlands in July 2009. In line with the major motifs and techniques in Ploeger’s works, 'Play & Productivity' is based on the exploration of two scenarios: the visual and auditory perception of moving sounding objects in context of their cultural connotations, and the condition of the human body in a multiply mediatised and technologised world by focussing on its interaction with technological devices. Besides, the performance touches on such issues as the disembodiment of the liberal humanist subject in a technologised culture; presence and awareness through hypermediacy; the embodied performer and its amplified corporeality in prosthesis; and the question of art as useless ‘work’.
