for ‘Cathy Josefowitz. Release’
The performance looks at the balance between intimacy and self-disclosure, questioning how genuine connections last through constant technological change. Drawing on ideas from Byung-Chul Han, it highlights how technology often reduces vulnerability to spectacle, eroding the depth of human relationships. The notion of “media automatisation” reflects concerns about the mechanization of human behavior and its impact on emotional authenticity. Ultimately, the work challenges the audience to see vulnerability as a radical act, an impulse, a movement, essential to reconnecting with humanity in an algorithmically driven world.
