3600 cuts is an interdisciplinary performance by Piotr Szyhalski and Pramila Vasudevan (Aniccha Arts) about the endless quest for “higher resolution” — the technological obsession of achieving finer grain and more detail—and how this sometimes illuminating, sometimes destructive phenomenon connects to the parallel quest for understanding human ecology. How can human beings begin to fathom the vast impact of climate change in tandem with the immediate minutia of our daily lives? Meticulously moving through one hour of performance by cutting it up into 3600 seconds, this project (de)constructs an intimate “high resolution” portrait-critique of this fleeting moment in deep time.
