“Lovotic,” a sound installation by Soundwalk Collective for CTM Festival, Berlin
The international & experimental sound collective, Soundwalk, in collaboration with actors Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe, queer theorist Paul B. Preciado, musicians Lyra Pramuk and Atom™; all who contributed texts, sounds and voices, question together whether the future of intimacy could rather be an exponentially expanding kaleidoscope of sexuality. Lovotics is a new field of research that seeks to explore the possibilities of sexual and emotional relationships between humans and robots. Soundwalk interrogates the impulses, ideas and needs underlying this research and delves into a future where sex and intimacy are redefined through the connection of humans and artificial intelligence. In the age of hybrid entanglement, human identity calls for new forms of gender and sexuality. Throughout the piece, gender-blurring voices of various post-human entities allow a new language to emerge, generated by self-learning algorithms based on a database of excerpts from 20th century studies and literary texts on sexuality and gender.
On view now until 12th September 2021 at CTM Festival
