I will be composing a MIND RAVE as part of SEX RE-BOOT at Iklectik Art Lab on 27 May 2022. This is an embodied sound experience incorporating prototyped electronics, crochet technology, dance, voice and sculptures, which will be amplified using Iklectik’s 3d Amoenus sound system. The activation deploys a conductive assemblage of sensors, skins and threads that makes audible, the invisible agencies of electromagnetism, gravity, ambient humidity, and more.

About Sex Re-Boot:

IKLECTIK is thrilled to present the first onsite event as part of the new Performance art curatorial fellowship curated by Dyana Gravina. 

The first of 3 stages research, (Jan-May), looked into posthumanist theories in relation, or friction, with embodiment, sex and pleasure through an intersectional feminist approach. 

The research led to concerns related to how ‘humalike’ technologies, AI sex Robots in particular, and how they replicate ideas of heteronormative power structures and aesthetics, violence, systems of oppression, with a specific focus on the notions of ‘female’, pleasure and its exploitation. 

To start thinking of a cyborg, queer and ethically repurposed technologies, this platform wants to address these issues and invest in social change within an interdisciplinary framework.
