Far-Flung's future is a media-performance-installation which investigates different aspects in the relationship between humans and machines and is choreographed by real-time computer processes. Live-performed movement and computer generated video, lighting, sound and wind are influenced by the same data structures – weather conditions and time-of-day data from locations around the globe are changing the theater space from one moment to the next. The score of the performance is determined by the "system" and structured into random time units. A cast of computer functionalities turned human carry out their labors within unpredictable sequences – acts – of "on" and "off".

Treating performance like software, Far-Flung's future is the second in an ongoing series and an "upgraded version" of Far-Flung follows function which was performed in 2013 at xMPL (Experimental Media Performance Lab) at the Contemporary Art Center at UC Irvine/CA.

Far-Flung's future is realized with the generous support of the cultural section of the City of Vienna.
