FIRST STREAMING - VIDEO CAMERA PERFORMANCE

[live] Persona is a performance art project situated at the intersection of dance, technology, and experimental media. The work explores digital embodiment and performative identity within the context of real-time livestreaming. It culminates in a camera-based, live-streamed performance titled The End of the Beginning, presented via Twitch. In this work, the camera functions not merely as a recording device, but as the artist’s stage — transforming the stream into a site of presence and metamorphosis.

Developed during a six-month artistic research scholarship, the project features Ave Vanilla — a screen-based live persona and enfant terrible. The work has reached over 17,600 viewers worldwide, across Germany, Poland, Japan, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Russia, and the USA.

The project remains open to reinterpretation as a hybrid format — adaptable to exhibition, video installation, live transmission, or site-specific performance settings.

WHY [LIVE] AVE VANILLA NOW?

We live in a time when streaming platforms and constant surveillance — from CCTV to reality shows — reshape our sense of visibility. The body is no longer confined to the stage or studio; it is continuously observed, archived, and commented on in everyday life.

[live] Ave Vanilla questions the boundaries of streaming as an artistic medium.
Can a performance that repeats, transforms, and embraces error become a counterpoint to voyeuristic forms of constant monitoring? Can livestreaming open spaces of intimacy, vulnerability, and transformation — rather than mere spectacle?
