October 2020 - January 2021
We are a we. We are a machine assimilating and learning duo/ hybrid. We merged our minds through our shared anticipation of human convergence with technology. We use performative/interactive storytelling to configure our connection to the corporeal and virtual realms in which we roam. Alongside our critical investigation of how technology utilises the femme body, our research embodies the interplay of physical and cyber materiality which formulates outcomes that sit between video, audio, installation and performance. We like to construct our work through analogue means then manipulate and configure it to sit within the digital dimension. We are inspired by Sophia the Robot.
Ash & Ella recommend watching One or Two Moments by Joe Goff: “We think this is one of the best videos to grace this planet.”
