Hello or/and hello,
hello/hello,
hell, o, hello
hello, hi there,
radio calling from the distance/strong signal, weak re:
the heartbeat machine, the reborn machine, the machine human
http:// – code red – code blue — code java, html
Deus ex machina or ex machina?!
moving engines, flashing lights, engineering the emotions
like
we’re the beginning
the movement
the flux
the human
interacting, born, moving, breathing, synthesizing, morphing
into one of a kind:
a glitch in time, a glitch in matrix, in life
and/or/if
this involves: empathy and surprise — the virtual reality and digital fabrication of life,
on itself, as a part of the machine, as a whole, as a reflection,
the e l e c t r i c i t y
of no explanations: pure hope of human connection,
this is a trait of the new nature, this is a movement
of a human and/or/if of a machine
– Eeva Maria al-Khazaali
(Learning) How to love the Machine is a series of works exploring the relationship of human and machine/technology.
So far the series has sparked a multidisciplinary installation in collaboration with poet Eeva Maria al-Khazaali, visual artist Julia Kukkonen, and sound artistsRobbie Gunn and Anna-Kaisa Vuorinen + different progressions of the theme, such as a poetry video, and a 5-day livestream exploring the process of making the performance.
My role in this performance series has fluctuated from facilitator to performer, and creator to composer.
