Kaj se zgodi, ko performerka, zvočni umetnik, videast in programer sestavijo stroj, ki ga nihče od njih sam ne obvladuje povsem? Nastane ustrOj2 – živa avdiovizualna pustolovščina na meji med telesom in tehnologijo, redom in kaosom, namero in njenimi dostikrat samosvojimi posledicami.
Gibanje se spreminja v zvok, zvok v podobo, podoba pa nazaj v impulz, ki premakne telo. V vseh smereh in permutacijah senzorji lovijo gibe, računalniki jih prevajajo, algoritmi se zapletajo v lastne zanke, ustvarjalci, deli istega stroja, pa lovimo neulovljivo nepredvidljivo ravnotežje med nadzorom in nepredvidljivostjo.
V ustrOj2 tehnologija ni zgolj orodje, ki uboga ukaze. Je soigralec s svojo voljo in logiko – včasih odlično, včasih nerazumljivo, vedno pa dovolj nepredvidljivo, da predstava nikoli ne more biti povsem enaka. Naprave, namenjene merjenju in nadzoru, postanejo glasbila, slikarski čopiči in koreografski partnerji. Nadzor se spremeni v igro, napaka v možnost,
stroj pa v nekaj sumljivo živega.
UstrOj2 je kolektivni eksperiment, v katerem se gib, zvok in video sproti sestavljajo, razstavljajo in znova odkrivajo. Brez vnaprej začrtane poti, brez zagotovila, da bo šlo vse po načrtu – in prav zato z odprtimi vrati za tisto, česar ni mogoče načrtovati.
Pridite preverit, kdo bo koga upravljal. Stroj nas, mi stroj ali pa bomo vsi skupaj ugotovili, da gumb za izklop nikoli ni obstajal.

What happens when a performer, a sound artist, a video artist, and a programmer build a machine that none of them can fully control on their own? The result is ustrOj2 – a live audiovisual adventure on the boundary between body and technology, order and chaos, intention and its often unpredictable consequences.
Movement transforms into sound, sound into image, and image back into an impulse that sets the body in motion. In all directions and permutations, sensors capture movements, computers translate them, algorithms get tangled in their own loops, and we, the creators and components of the same machine, chase an elusive, unpredictable balance between control and uncertainty.
In ustrOj2, technology is not merely a tool that obeys commands. It is a fellow performer with its own will and logic – sometimes brilliant, sometimes incomprehensible, but always unpredictable enough to ensure that no two performances can ever be exactly alike. Devices designed for measurement and control become musical instruments, paintbrushes, and choreographic partners. Control turns into play, error into possibility, and the machine into something suspiciously alive.
UstrOj2 is a collective experiment in which movement, sound, and video are continuously assembled, dismantled, and rediscovered. There is no predetermined path and no guarantee that everything will go according to plan – and that is precisely what leaves the door open to the things that cannot be planned.
Come and find out who will be controlling whom. The machine us, us the machine, or perhaps we will all discover together that the off switch never existed.
