POLYBIUS

Polybius is a series of performances by Raquel Meyers and Goto80. The purpose of Polybius is to explode the links between fiction and reality by encouraging a loss of senses. It builds on the urban myth about an arcade game from the 1980s (Polybius) that created a sensory and cognitive deprivation in its users. By combining line vector aesthetics with video manipulation and 8-bit technology we want to induce feelings of apophenia, amnesia and panic.
