Requiem for the Future

xx NEW LINES OF TRANSITION ACROSS UNEVEN LANDSCAPE
xx CITY OF GIRLS

Slovenia / 2016 / 60'
Hybrid Performance / premiere

Requiem for the Future is an experiment/
performance in which the human body is
substituted with animals and machines.

Conceptually it is related to the postanthropocentric
deconstruction of dualism of the
Cartesian view of the animal machine. According
to Descartes, the animal is a set of sounds
produced by a complex mechanism of fluids,
muscles and bones. Lacking a soul. What is then
a machine but artificial intelligence and how can
a (non)dialogue between animal and artificial
intelligence be interpreted?
