Relics of the Wired Flesh is conceived as a
hybrid, intermedial project unfolding across
different states: as installation, performance,
and performative act involving the
audience interaction.
hybrid, intermedial project unfolding across
different states: as installation, performance,
and performative act involving the
audience interaction.
At its core, the work examines how digital
systems shape bodies, attention, and
relationships. Smartphones, filters,
interfaces, and algorithmic logics appear not
merely as tools, but as invisible
choreographers — directing gazes,
regulating proximity and distance, producing
control, acceleration, and moments of
paralysis.
Physical objects, video, sound, and
performative actions are interwoven. Certain
elements are activated through the presence
of visitors.
At the center stands an algorithmic body that
is scanned, read, interpreted, and archived —
a contemporary relic situated between
techno-sacral devotion, digital liturgy, and
rave culture.
The project reflects on how we live within
this digital condition and how it reshapes us
as individuals and as a society.
