A ritual for creating new worlds and situations for fragmented bodies.  Signals pass through the joints of animated and genderless bodies and  body parts entangling the body-signal-actions both materially and  conceptually as these control mechanisms interfere with pre-animated  content. Perpetually shifting surfaces and skins serve as sites of  projection and interference, contributing to the further &#8220;queering&#8221; of  the state of these bodies and fragments that are stretched and submerged  into and outside of the environment they inhabit, as they encounter  desire, distress, and ritualized oscillations. Signals generate both  sound and compels movement, the making of the images, and the body  further challenges the stability and integrity of the space in its  otherworldliness and the spatial relationships it establishes with the  audience. At the edge between crisis and satisfaction, the work adopts  the role of Millet&#8217;s own &#8220;gleaners,&#8221; making-do on the boundary between  sustenance and the devoid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/1.jpg\" alt=\"screen shot from  the gleaners, and: ritual for signaled bodies single-channel trailer \" data-id=\"1861\" class=\"wp-image-1861\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1863\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/2-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-1863\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1864\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/3-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1864\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1865\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/4-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-1865\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1866\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/5-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1866\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1867\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/attachment\/6\/\" class=\"wp-image-1867\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1868\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/7-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1868\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/01\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1869\" data-link=\"https:\/\/blog.alfred.edu\/expandedmedia\/faculty-collaboration-the-gleaners-and-ritual-for-signaled-bodies\/attachment\/8\/\" class=\"wp-image-1869\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the gleaners, and: ritual for signaled bodies was created in December 2020 by a collaboration between Assistant Professor of Video Art Eric Souther and Associate Professor of Expanded Media Benjamin Rosenthal from the University of Kansas.
