Paired with Shen’s piano performance of music by composers such as Scott Joplin, Aphex Twin, John Adams, Steve Reich, Horacio Lavandera, Wendy Carlos, and Nils Frahm; Duo Kinetica explores themes including non-violence, motion hidden in everyday life, the city symphony, pre-cinema history, the male gaze, industrial heydays, and our relationship with technology.
