Bodies / Machines

The body is the last analog device.

A near-empty dance studio, herringbone floor, three figures sitting still along the walls.

A residency in an emptied dance studio in Milan, with the Compagnia Enzo Cosimi. Herringbone floor, chairs against the wall, one person on their phone, one reading, one filming. The class knows how to occupy the silence.

Elsewhere: pose-detection pipelines feeding into a film-frame database; ESP32 microcontrollers and stepper motors on the desk; a camera module pried out of a surveillance kit and reassembled into a pocket camera (Obscura One). The circuit remembers the hand.

Second view from the same residency, different framing.

Nothing computes like a body that hasn't been asked to.

With Compagnia Enzo Cosimi (2021), Milano. Ongoing electronics practice, 2024–2026.
