World Wild West brings the internet to a flesh-space near you!
World Wild West brings the internet to a flesh-space near you! We make new music from existing YouTube videos, sing absurdist Nederhop, tell a magical-girl story for the 21st century, take the audience through a guided meditation in which Elon Musk puts a chip in your head and close with a mesmerizing rollercoaster of forgotten internet hits with triple-projected visuals. What brings all these performances together is not only their connection to the internet, but also that they all strive – in a way typical of our favourite online content – to make you dance, laugh and cry at the same time. Think of it as a joyous mashup of the funny, quirky side of the web, a night where the ‘net is once again by and for everyone.
ARDEMAR
ARDEMAR creates new compositions on-the-fly by simply playing multiple YouTube videos simultaneously. The fact that you can see all the weird things he
types into YouTube’s search bar makes his performance very funny and its musicality even more jaw-dropping.
Internet Ugly
Internet Ugly is, God forbid, a YouTuber. But within their ironic and sardonic videos they hide messages about community building and a healthy relationship
with the internet. Amongst other things, they will perform: [ASMR RP] [F4A] [NB4A] Neural Augmentation Surgery with a Kind Doctor [tired listener] [sleep
aid].
