YOUARENOWHERE is a rapid-fire existential meditation, which mixes physics lecture, pop culture and personal revelation to dissect subjects ranging from quantum mechanics and parallel universes to missed connections and AA recovery steps. Using an array of complex visual and aural effects to produce a fluid, shifting landscape of sensory overload, YOUARENOWHERE transforms the physical performance space and warps linear time to short-circuit preconceived notions of individual perspective and what it means to be here now.

YOUARENOWHERE was part of PS122's COIL Festival in 2015, where it was called a "tour-de-force" by Time Out NY and "inventive" and "astounding" by the New York Times.

Mr. Schneider's YOUARENOWHERE's collaborative team includes Karl Franklin Allen, Alessandra Calabi, Sandra Garner, Daniel Jackson, Bobby McElver, Peter Musante and Christine Shallenberg.

YOUARENOWHERE is part of 3-Legged Dog's Artist Residency program.

works, builds interactive electronic art works and installations, and was a Wooster Group company member (video/performer) from 2007-2014. Rooted at the intersection of performance and technology, Schneider's work critically investigates our over-dependence on being perpetually connected in an always-on world.
