Thirty-three

During my time at mime academy, I created a series of three performative works titled “11”, “22”, and “33”. Each piece explores different themes, but they all share some common elements. In every work, I challenge the use of the physical body in different ways. While the overall tone may feel dark, raw, and intense, there’s always an underlying sense of playfulness.

In this performance, I merged digital physicality with the human body, creating a fusion of my two fields: Artificial Intelligence and Mime. Drawing from the mime tradition, I explore space through the body, characterized by the sinewy, flesh-driven struggle for space. From the perspective of Artificial Intelligence, I seek to understand the complexity, beauty, and inherent nature of our world. This performance is the first presentation of this interaction. What kind of body do they form together?
