This Monday (20/10/08, 20:30 Paris time, GMT+1) Pascal Lièvre and Matthieu Delahausse will perform Surveiller Punir “Double Contraintes Foucault” as part of Panoplie.org’s Double Bind series of webcast performances. The performance will involve:

Pascal Lièvre and Matthieu Delahausse, at two different places in Paris, will read the same extract of “Discipline and Punish” by Michel Foucault, each of them being equipped with an SM accessory which will make the exercise of the reading difficult.

The concept for these curated performances, a Double Bind, is a fascinating one in relation to networked forms:

A dilemma in communication, in which a person receives two or more conflicting messages, and one message denies the other; a situation in which the person will be put in the wrong however they respond, and the person can’t comment on the conflict, or resolve it, or opt out of the situation.
