Perfromative and Interactive Art

I want to share with you that I did my first performance o/
I was spouse to give a presentation about GOSH for my colleagues. I tried to write, to prepare a slide presentation, but none of this could translate the feelings, could translate my understands.
On thinking about it, I end up writing a tale, the Tale about the Science of Tomorrow. I took a native drum, like this one, played some Interspecifics song and told the Tale. People was very impressed, since no one expect that. We even repeat the presentation on the Arduino Day. I really liked people’s surprised faces.

That’s the tale:

Once Upon a time,
In the timeless planes of our mind, the Science of Yesterday.
The Science of Yesterday Owns Itself
And thought herself the owner of others too, mounted on her throne writing the truth was afraid of nothing. Of Nothing but a thing: The Prophecy.
It was afraid of the Prophecy of the Science of Tomorrow
This prophecy affirmed that among them the Science of Tomorrow, the only one with powers to overthrow it from its throne and to become the new writer of truth, erasing everything that had already been written.
Terrified,
The Science of Yesterday went up on the highest hill of the plain and built a fort around it. It isolated from everything that was not itself. It isolated from what was Art. It isolated from what was Emotion. It isolated from what was Traditional. It isolated from what was pseudo. It even isolated from what was Natural.
Not enough,
Was afraid that its sons and daughter could be the Science of Tomorrow. For this, invoked Arrogance from the depths of its mind. It made sure that there was an Arrogance behind every son and daughter, what would kept them from talking to each other.
What yesterday’s science did not expect
was that the prophecies are imprecise and unpredictable, As the natural world is.
What no one here expected
Is that the science of yesterday would not come on a white horse to free us from our slavery. No. The Science of Tomorrow is not something or someone. The Science of Tomorrow is in everything. In the vacuum and in the filled. Just is.
But,
One could only think of one’s own without arrogance.
Perhaps
By influence of some outsiders, perhaps by their own probabilistic events, some sons and daughters decided to talk to their Arrogance and, with much patience, mutual support and a little tea, they became Arrogance in Science of Tomorrow.
They passed then
To coexist inside and outside the fort, with or without the Science of Yesterday. It is not meant to be the only one, because it is not. The Science of Tomorrow has only the will to be.

It just is.
