Interactive media artist Andrew Schneider presents this breathtaking intersection of visceral physicality and visually stunning technology.

What connections are we missing in an always-on world?

In NERVOUS/SYSTEM, Schneider and collaborators create a performance cartography of the all-too-fleeting revelations, narratives, and emotional interactions flooding our bodies and brains every second of every day. Audiences peer down like birds above the city to discover a living map where a multiplicity of narratives come into view: a biker, oblivious of the car that will hit her six blocks away; a couple kissing goodbye, then going on to lead different lives; flight patterns; Facebook usage; and countless other trajectories, patterns, possibilities, and futures.

Nervous/System decodes the stories we miss each time we blink.
