Festival NORMA:
Forecasting is based on a collection of amateur videos taken from the world's largest video-sharing website: YouTube.
On stage, a performer skillfully manipulates a laptop which shows videos selected to correspond to a human scale. The result is a dizzying hybrid experience, blur-ring the lines between the banality of everyday situations and new modes of narration.
