The event at The Poly opened with Susan Mortimer’s Walking the Line. The artist’s image was projected into the event space via live-feed technology as she performed in a studio in Durham. Mortimer walked continuously over four hours, following a blue line that was taped to the floor. Spectators became physical counterparts by enacting her movements on a line in The Poly. As Mortimer existed both physically in Durham and virtually in Falmouth, it depicted her concerns about the identity of the body in cultural space as advancing technologies cause significant shifts.
