ROBOTA (44°34'39.5"N 72°14'45.2"W)

2022

single-channel video / experimental / 6 minutes

In a post-human world, a cyborgian entity materializes and experiences a pond for the first time.

The performance stems from an ecofeminist perspective and references the origin of the word “robota” (derived from “drudgery” and “forced labor”) as well as “robot” (from Karel Čapek’s Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti, Rossum's Universal Robots).

Robota’s cyborgian entity continues its habitual tasks but senses possible liberation in the multisensory, multispecies world in and around the pond.
