Birdsong Blues
Immanuel J.
Collar Works, Troy, NY

Collar Works is proud to present Birdsong Blues, a live original performance by artist and live arts practitioner Immanuel J. Taking as source material language from phishing scams and algorithmic “hacks,” Birdsong Blues is a dizzying and disorienting jukebox concert. Drawing on the distressing experience of watching a loved one spiral on social media, the artist asks the audience to consider what it might mean to intervene in these public/personal crises. How might we respond if these incidents occurred ITF— in the flesh?
