To find the character, look for the field – it’s hidden under words

This performance explores technology as a condition of relation: the means through which we come together, perceive the world, and produce meaning. Moving between the physical and virtual, the work stages a dreamlike encounter with digital systems, questioning how algorithmic mediation, automation, and the infinite reproducibility of images reshape our experience of time, space, and desire.
