Performance
2023
Imagine a machine that is programmed to perform one task; the reason for its existence. Now run for your life, type on your laptop the whole day, and turn around till you faint. Repeat doing whatever you do, to fulfill your human purpose. Da Da Die is conceptualized around the themes of life and death, of machines and humans. Can the algorithms and machines surrounding us shape and control how we live, or are we still the ones who rule? How can we break the cycle of this mechanism called life?
