(A Performative Exploration of Subtle Power Dynamics in Responsive Technologies)
2024
Performative lecture with Interactive audio sculptures, 10 minutes. Images: Try-out at International Studio and Curatorial Program.
As technology becomes increasingly integral to how we communicate amongst each other subtle non-verbal cues are often lost. This performative explores how the power relations between humans and machines and humans amongst each other through machines could be designed more dynamic. By interacting with prototypes that respond in dynamic vocal sounds in a somewhat unpredictable manner to specific bodily gestures, the artist aims to foster a more nuanced relationship between the 'user' and the 'device,' encouraging a fluid exchange of status and control.
