if_robot [[the video]]

This video weaves together historical and present day techno-science-fact-fiction gender-based references to investigate female-coded personae of robots, code-based work of mechanical turks, the invention of the “self-cleaning house” and Silicon Valley’s motto to “move fast and break things”. Elements of my previous work !!! techn010ffspring !!! are collaged into the morphing mesh of organism-like bots. Versions of this video accompanied my interactive live performance, in which I developed a female-coded-robot-persona, who is a bit of a provocateur, an inventor of absurd mischievous interactions with the live audience.
