- Suzanne Kite (Kite) is an Oglala Lakota Performance Artist from Los Angeles. At Wall-to-Wall: place no place, she performs her piece “People You Must Look At Me” a performance that makes full use of a digitally mapped space while using interactive sound and video. Kite uses an instrument attached to her body that has sensors and connected to speakers to create vibrations throughout the room. She creates an atmosphere of both real and unreal by connecting the physical space with sound, motion, visuals and vibrations.
