The performance "What Are You Looking At?" (Gob Squad) is opening the NOW festival in Nottingham, UK.

Following information from the groups` website:

A live installation taking place over 6 hours in a two-way mirrored room. 6 performers lose control. Made to take place in the environment of a club or cultural event

Picture this; A party in full swing: 6 gothics lounge on the grass in the heat of the midday sun drinking cocktails and listening to sounds of the 80's……or some wholesome American teenagers swig absynthe whilst watching hard core porn to a Star Wars soundtrack….. The local tennis group hold a séance off their faces on something illegal….or 18th Century Lords and Ladies play Sega whilst listening to death metal…..

(BLACKOUT; Lights up on freeze): WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
It's like a human fishtank. Sealed in a 3 metre square cube made out of 2-way mirrored perspex, these revellers are only inches away, yet they're in a completely different world, a highly styled super reality rich in detail and contradiction. On the outside you become a voyeur, able to scrutinise the smallest of details and expressions, each action a miniature drama. It's hard to tell what's planned and what isn't. Are they really drunk? Can they see us watching them as they perform another karaoke number.

(BLACKOUT; Lights up on freeze): WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
'What Are You Looking At?' is a response to a culture which is becoming increasingly fascinated with the notion of 'real' people. Running for up to 6 hours, it's possible to engage with it on many levels ; The inability for it to fulfill the ideal it sets itself; The personality as artwork and the promise that at any moment now something really special could happen.
