Artist and DJ Shenece Oretha (Oretha) choreographs a live pouring out of a digital repository.
This polyvocal open score explores the digital afterlife through a ceremony of voices.

Building places to nest in. Scrolling through mementos of black life online. cry. mourn. rant. let go. take in. get together. set apart. mark the landing spot with a hashtag or a subtweet. Rise and fall. Scrolling through the emotional dunes of digital space. Mourning one moment, joking the next. What happens when your digital touchstones have gone offline? When you try to find them but they have become a food blog? When they have uprooted themselves from the world that you made together? A wake through it all. Getting used to flying instead. For those we know, who are unknown, unseen but felt.
