Sam Cannon presents a live audiovisual performance in collaboration with musician Benjamin Bailey (Jacob Asher, Joywave) and dancer/musician Quenton (An Only Child). Virtual Serpentine is a modern digital interpretation inspired by the Serpentine dance choreographed by Loie Fuller and famously documented by early film pioneers the Lumière brothers. Stuckey performs the dance in a custom-made billowing greenscreen dress, accompanied by Bailey on harpsichord with live-keyed visuals by Cannon.

This performance was recorded live over Zoom on April 22, 2021, as part of the Future / Present artist talk series. To watch the artist's talk in full, visit youtube.com/watch?v=4dFvKfOLj-4
