EX-MACHINA is a performance art event consisting of four works that examine the entanglement between the human body and technology.Through machines, circuits, codes, and algorithms, the event explores how identities, functions, and actions are destabilized and rethought in the encounter between body and technics.
Rather than a deus ex machina, EX-MACHINA embraces interruption, friction, and unpredictability as an artistic strategy. Drawing on Donna Haraway’s cyborg theory, performance art is understood as a practice of becoming-with technology.
Here, the human does not appear as an isolated subject, but as a relational, hybrid being embedded in nonhuman systems. The event creates a space where new myths, perceptions, and forms of agency are tested live in a fragmented, mediatized present.
Performancekøkkenet by David Sebastian Lopez Restrepo presents:
Mikka Mallow and Marcos Nacar: Car piece
Two performers and an obsolete machine explore care and material force.
Sól Ey: Hreyfð
A performance investigating how technology functions as a bodily extension and shapes how the body senses itself. Constraint becomes a condition for new forms of movement.
Bistu ryx : Techno Gods - The Future is still Unwritten
An exploration of urban shamanism
Ada Ada Ada: in transitu live
The algorithmic gendering of bodies is challenged.
