Pulp

Description

Miazga [eng. „Pulp”] is the program responsible for encoding the continuity of processes in the human body. It is like the management core of the organism focused around the central nervous system. The mechanisms occurring in Miazga, are analysed, interpreted and used by the Avatars. They work together illustrating the condition of today's man, whose actions are often the result of algorithms, social norms and controls. This piece asks questions about the boundaries between the biological and the digital and between autonomy and determinism. In a world where technologies invade our minds and bodies more and more, the human body in Miazga becomes an operating system, under constant analysis and optimisation. Miazga is a conceptual dance performance that encourages reflection on the human condition. To do so, it makes use of absurdity by becoming playfully and humanly “imperfect.” In a pre-programmed world, could the greatest act of rebellion be a simple mistake-or perhaps just a spontaneous dance?
