Summary

In the sci-fi tinged Quantification Trilogy, Jeremy Shaw’s characters escape the physical world through ecstatic practices. The three inventive, interconnected "para-fictions" that make up the trilogy deal with "Quantum Humans": immortal, cyborg-like entities who use dance as a ritual to transcend the oppression of technology. Using vintage means to craft each mid-length film, the Vancouver-born artist creates a fascinating work about the relationship between the individual and the collective.
