A three-part networked performance work, imagined as an extension of the artist’s ongoing inquiries into the conditions of intimacy and community mediated by technology. A range of critical concerns around surveillance capitalism, geo-politics & identity are brought together through sound art, a live performance and an experimental video offering multiple points of engagement with the audience.
