Revolving Histories (#bangbang-0074)

Palm Reading of Tumaroh
(2019, 2020, 2021)

https://till-langschied.com/

This interactive performance invites visitors to an individual hand reading session with the avatar Tumaroh. Based on a system specially developed for this performance, Tumaroh reads visitors' hands as an interface to digital worlds. According to occult belief, the physiognomy of the hand reveals our fate, but now it is one with technology - the physical body serves as an interface to neural networks that completely define us. The aim of the performance is to shed light on our connection with technology and the internet in particular and to respond to the personal user characteristics of the individual visitors.

Text excerpt from the accompanying book:
This is the future and you are the interface.
Your memory is in the cloud.
Your security is in the server farms.
Your face is an empty sheet for kawaii filters.
Your fingers are the antennas for Wi-Fi.
You are one with technology.

Everything leaves traces on you while it is in transposition.
You are the data which you are downloading.
You are the network and your heart beats in the pulse of the hyperlink.
