The Witness by Pauline Oliveros
Pauline Oliveros had a long-standing interest in collaborative performance at a distance, which included her pioneering work in telematic performances over the internet as well as telepathic and imaginative participation. In her score to “The Witness” (1989), she writes that it “may be performed by a soloist as a duet with an imaginary partner or as an ensemble for two to a hundred or more performers.”
I was unable to be present in the flesh at a presentation of “The Witness” at Carnegie Hall on January 21, 2023. I was there however by way of telepathy, my imagination and by real-time editing of two videos which documented previous presentations. Click above to see the result. Feb. 4, 2023.
