Rewiring Intimacy

Machine VS. Flesh

Biological Vs. Technological

Grotesque Vs. Beautiful

Rewiring intimacy is a metaphorical study for the evolving nature of intimacy in our digital age. In our era of increasing convergence between body and machine, we deconstruct and reimagine human intimacy through a spatial and interactive performance with dancers. We aim to encourage deeper connections through physical interaction and shared experiences.

A chair-like object is disassembled during the performance, symbolizing the breakdown of barriers. Capacitative touch sensors on the object are triggered by the dancers, generating disembodied voices that reflect on the tension between human and machine. This project mediates themes of human connection and movement, cyborgs, digital interaction and spatial conventions, governed by an overall narrative of how human intimacy and technology impact, connect and co-exist with one another.
