Experimenting with aleatoric processes, Mike Kay investigates the dynamics of performance, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what performance means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.His performances link art’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. By exploring the concept of performance in a nostalgic way, he absorbs the tradition of remembrance art into daily practice. This revival of a past tradition is important as an act of meditation.
