Vibrating Waiting for You to Touch, 2025
Vibrating Waiting for You to Touch, 2025Performance, MiTu Theater, Brooklyn, NY
A mixed-reality performance that explores the sensorial and emotional experience of scrolling. It is a dance of scrolling thumbs—thumbs attached to hands performed by whole people. Through movement, sound, and absurdist costuming, props, and embodied exploration, the piece investigates how our bodies are disciplined by digital systems and how the intimate act of touch becomes flattened into functionality. This work asks: how do we touch a digital body? And can touch rehumanize the dehumanized scroll?
The development of this work was supported by MAX Media Arts Exploration and the MAXmachina Laboratory.
