During Amsterdam Art Week, Nxt Museum presents an immersive livestream from the Whitney Museum of American Art. Join us to Act III, the third and final act of Human Unreadable (2023-2026) by Operator.
Act III is a multimedia performance by artist duo Operator (Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti), the third and final act of their work Human Unreadable, which began in 2022 by asking how much of a body survives translation into code and its absorption into technological systems. Structured as theater aware of its own construction, the 80-minute performance moves between computational choreography and spoken narrative.
Drawing on histories of experimental choreography and art and technology, from Merce Cunningham and Analivia Cordeiro to E.A.T., Human Unreadable is a three-act structure exploring “the slow recovery of the human.” Operator built a library of dance movements and an algorithmic method for generating choreographic sequences stored on the Ethereum blockchain.
