D+NA

We are sitting at the cusp of the undeniable—yet mostly invisible—fundamental shift in the way we conceive of technological integration in our lives. For women’s bodies this means new sophisticated systems of surveillance and compliance.

Based on real experiments, the performer poetically audits herself according to the billions of data points we’ve extracted about her. This performance of dissection explores the nature of being in a world continuously articulating your identity in data form.
