1. Mind Machine

   In this performance, an intersemiotic translation occurs between the visual artist’s demoscene videos and the performer’s live text generation. The performance continues the tradition of looking at electronic literature as something that is also created in front of a live, physically present audience. It challenges the notion of digitally native writing in that, as long as the writing is being performed by a human and not by a machine, there is always an organic, bodily dimension to everything natively digital. How can human writing then be born digital, if we are to take the term literally? In this sense, the performance re-situates the human performer. In another version of the performance, shown earlier in 2017, a robot writes in parallel and on stage with the human performer. In Porto, though, we'll leave the robot at home or have it only telepresent to bring attention to the contrast of human and machine embodiment in electronic writing.
