RECONNECTING ORLAN AND THE ORLANOÏDE

Science Gallery Dublin

A performance between ORLAN and her replica, the ORLANOÏDE, as they join together remotely from Paris and Dublin after two years apart.

Imagine being able to clone yourself and exist for generations to come, or gain the ability of being in two countries at the very same time: ORLAN has done just that. Renowned for her evocative and thought-provoking works, ORLAN is a French performance artist who uses bio-hacking and technology to re-frame our perceptions of the body. In this pivotal new work created in collaboration with Science Gallery Dublin, ORLAN will join us virtually from Paris in a brand new performance through a connection between the artist and the artist’s replica: ORLANOÏDE, who will perform live from the stage in the Paccar Theatre. Over the course of a year, researchers from the ADAPT Centre at Trinity College Dublin have hacked and dissected the ORLANOÏDE to equip it with new and innovative skills that will enable it to communicate directly with ORLAN and to mimic her presence and bodily movements. ORLAN is a renowned French performance artist who works in the mediums of sculpture, photography and film, and is best known for her work with plastic surgery in the early to mid-1990s. Her performance work often uses scientific and medical techniques like surgery and biogenetics. ORLAN’s artwork Harlequin’s Coat (2007) was a result of her collaboration with the SymbioticA laboratory in Australia.
