[ On Selfhood ]
(2018-2020)
Site specific performance series with music score and sound design by J.G.Biberkopf (Gediminas Zygus) and voice skin interface MBJ Wetware.
Through a series of fragments [On Selfhood] glimpses into the process of scattering of the individual caused by multiple factors. The breaking down of the human body into its chemical components, artificial intelligence that constantly interacts with humans, self optimization and quantification of affect by platform capitalism, have turned the self into an open field in a constant process of becoming.
Felice Moramarco
Excerpts:
"Karen Barad deconstructs the self on personal and on subatomic levels through Quantum Field Theory. Quote:
All matter in its essence is a massive overlaying of others, other beings, other spaces, other times, an infinity of infinities.
All touching entails an infinite alterity so that touching the other is touching all others including the self. And touching the self entails touching the stranger within.

Quote:
Electrons are inherently chimeras, cross species / cross time mixtures, made of virtual configurations, reconfigurings of different kinds of beings dispersed across space and time. The electron, a point particle without structure, is a patchwork of time sutured together in uncanny configurations, trying out new appendages made of various particles.
