„ERR“ is a collaborative project between visual artist Paris-Ch. and U.K based experimental electronic duo EIF. The aim of the collaboration is to create a contemporary work of art which explores ​​illusion as an inherent property of vision and visual representation.

The project is a series of site-specific installations consisted of geometric abstract art elements, digital sound applications and live experimental electronic music performances, that are in an interactive correspondence with each other and with the audience. It therefore aims at a multi-sensory experience for the viewer, one that could help him to infiltrate the ambiguities of the image and to potentially challenge, temporarily, the very notion of ​​reality.

The interaction in ‚ERR‘ which sometimes occurs between the viewer, the digital sound applications and sometimes between live music performance and visual art aims to reinforce the illusory dimension of the work as an attempt to intensify both the scope of raising distrust and the pleasure associated with it, achieved by the mind’s attempt to bridge the distance between art and reality.

Three persons join forces under adverse conditions and combine their intelligence, strength and audacity in order to be able to rescue their fellow citizens. They become friends and dominate in their kingdom. Power blurs their judgment and divides them. At that time, a dragon and a young knight will appear on their way, triggering them to remember their old art – the battle with arrows that do not hurt.

A performance for both children and adults, with beautiful messages about empathy, directed by Marios Theocharous.
