(Dis)consent: A Night of Performance and Interactive Installations
- WHO IT IS FOR: Art enthusiasts, tech theorists, and those interested in the intersection of digital agency and human performance.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: An exploration of consent and agency within the context of algorithms, ecological crises, and systemic interfaces.
- FORMAT: A multidisciplinary showcase featuring interactive installations, live performance, and generative media.
Join MESH_ARTS and UAAD in Brooklyn for (Dis)consent, an immersive evening that challenges our understanding of agency in the modern age. Through a series of provocative works, the event examines how consent is negotiated, manipulated, and withdrawn within the invisible frameworks of algorithms and ecological networks.
Attendees will move beyond passive observation, invited to command bodies, contribute data, and reshape generative imagery in real time. Featuring curated works by Katherin Helen Fisher, Mengna Da, and Shihan Zhang, the night blends live performance with interactive installations to question whether true refusal is possible once we are embedded in a system.
Experience a speculative journey through cyborg mirrors and ecological simulations that expose the tension between autonomous choice and systemic control. This event asks a critical question for the digital era: when consent becomes a fluid variable, does the power of disconsent still exist?
