Let us suppose that we're all just a temporary mishmash of dots on a screen. All of our energy, personality and uniqueness is just a collection of bouncing color dots creating seemingly meaningful patterns we call a virtual world. Zoom in and you are a sea of dots with no form. Zoom back and you're just a spot on the map.

In celebration of all of our dottiness and spottiness, virtual installation artist Juria Yoshikawa will join up with composer-artist Nnoiz Papp to perform "Seeing Spots, Being Dots" at Diabolus Island as part of the current art show CARP3. The performance will be simultaneously shown in real life at the Scala Theatre as a part of the Directors Lounge Festival in Berlin.

Participation welcome:
The "dance" is open to all attendees of the virtual event. People will receive a dot costume and large kinetic sculptures to wear to take part in this improvised performance. If you would like to participate, please IM Juria Yoshikawa by 2/13 and she will give you the costume, sculptures and event instructions.

For best viewing:
- Set sun to midnight
- Wear headphones with ambient noise turned down
- Use FlightFeather or other flight assist app to fly at high altitude
