How much of the human body survives its translation into code?

On Saturday, November 21, OGR Torino presents a livestream from the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York of Act III, a multimedia performance by artist duo Operator, formed by Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti.

Presented as part of artport: A History of Internet Art, the performance is the third and final act of Human Unreadable, a project that began in 2022 to explore the relationship between the body, technology and digital systems.

Working from a library of dance movements, Operator developed an algorithmic method for generating choreographic sequences stored on the Ethereum blockchain. After being transformed into visual compositions and digital scores in the first two acts, the choreographies return to the bodies of dancers.

Over 80 minutes, Act III moves between computational choreography and spoken narrative, questioning what happens when the human body is translated into data and how physical presence can be recovered.

The livestream is itself a work of broadcast art: a transmission edited in real time across multiple perspectives, unique to each performance.
