LIVING IS A DULL BUSINESS by DEBBY FRIDAY

LIVING IS A DULL BUSINESS is an excerpt from VOW, an audiovisual-play by Canadian artist DEBBY FRIDAY.

VOW - a direct descendant of her graduate thesis project, LINK SICK, and taking place in the same futuristic world of planet raves and VIRTUAL living - tells a story of code, of feeling and the bittersweetness of entanglement. The project is a multi-channel immersive installation experience, anchored by the projected portrait of an ever-morphing visage - a visual developed with the use of generative adversarial networks, better known as GANs. Bringing together aspects of theatre, radio, machine learning, generative art, sound art and electronic music production, VOW is a philosophical and hybrid production - a quintessential DEBBY FRIDAY masterpiece. VOW premiered at the Ottawa Art Gallery in September 2021.
