Binding or not Binding Commitments

In the performance Binding or not-Binding Commitments by Carlo Caloro, the technique of neurofeedback is used, a non-invasive technique used at neuro-cognitive level to treat certain clinical situations, as in the therapy of pathologies of ADHD or migraines. Normally, in order to register an individual completely, it would be necessary to apply four electrodes on one individual’s scalp. In the performance, by contrast, every singer is supplied with one electrode with the electroencephalographical lines being simultaneously registered and monitored by the same amplificator. If the attention span of the individual singers and the level of empathy is elevated, their voices can be heard from four speakers in one single harmonious song. The work presents itself as a dispositive that trains the cooperation and resolution of conflicts. It offers expression for the contemporary need to construct binding We-communities, in contrast with the spread of individualistic and narcissistic behaviour of the masses, non-binding I-communities.
