[ Do digital archives dream of death? ]
| This is the first generation where the exchange or consumption of the funerary object now extends into digital assets such as Facebook profiles and bitcoin currency, profiles of archived data that transform our memory of the person or the body into data that can be consumed and owned. This is a contemporary progression that has developed out of an industrial revolution that demanded those who dealt with death to become professionals or to carry out their labors as trade, therefore alienating communities considered ‘other’ from the intimate tactility of communal death practices and also from a sense of redemption in death. Due to the outsourcing of death practices, our bodies and digital bodies/ assets pass through many hands when we die, and very few families will engage their own hands in the rituals of the care of the body. |

Disorders Vol. 3 is the third in a series of collective exhibitions by Disorder Live Art collective featuring international artists working both individually and collaboratively, exploring the potential for the live action to re-think physical and conceptual exchanges in non-linear space and to disrupt traditional notions of spectator-ship and participation in public art. The exhibition will open on Friday the 8th of November with an evening of live performances and will continue on Saturday the 9th and Sunday the 10th of November with the screening of moving image works, performance documentation and a panel discussion with contributions by the artists and curators. The event is produced in-kind support from Ugly Duck

Disorder Live Art is a not for profit organisation dedicated to the production of performance and live art founded in 2018.
