The Uncontrolled Manifold works with electronics and machines that possess autonomy and obstinacy. These machines are brought into interaction with each other, creating danceable polyrhythms and, at the same time, a fascinating shadow play, because the machines are mounted on an overhead projector and their interaction is projected. Analog oscillators generate self-organizing coordination dynamics and organic patterns, while motors strike rubber strings producing deep, resonant bass sounds reminiscent of shamanic drumming. Supported by the visuals spectators may feel like being dragged into the vortex of a living clock, compelled to join the performance through movement and dance.
