Installation together with Ria Ockenga and Luna Ehrenstein at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, as part of the group exhibition “Elastic Dogmas,” organized by Room to Expand (UdK Berlin)
We created a kind of feast, resembling leftovers or the ribbed frame of a human body.
With this, we wanted to express how technologies, especially AI, are immersing us, penetrating our bodies. We consciously allow ourselves to be enveloped, letting technology feed on us, extracting data. Without this, it wouldn’t grow smarter than us. It wouldn’t be able to replace our warm bodies with cold, data-driven systems.
We want to raise questions: What does it mean to feel and to love, to use all our senses? To what extent are we guided by our nervous system and hormones and how can that be replaced? Are we going to be completely numbed and controlled by technology, with it defining what we’re supposed to feel and what we long to consume?
We experimented with hot wax on skin as an intensification of sensations, feeling pain and pleasure at the same time, being completely present with our bodies in this specific moment.
