The video HI-RES by Marina Grzinic and Aina Smid is based on the dance performance HI-RES by Maja Delak and Male Kline. The video poses questions and give some unexpected answers to what is to be done in contemporary art/dance today, what are the limits of representation, as a frame/work/ that affects and infects contemporary dance, and what is the capacity of the dancing body in generating meaning for itself and the others. HI-RES develops powerfully two states of action and contemplation: boredom and dizziness. They are constantly perpetuated through politics and the analysis of the global capitalist system and its performative politics
