After its presentation at the CERN facilities.
“I had the pleasure of attending the performance of this installation at CERN premises. On a personal perspective, I find amazing how with simple material elements but carefully guided with superb music, choreography and light Margareth and Carlos have profoundly captured how digital networks might contribute to alienate us and our interlocutors from our true material selves. In particular I find this performance as a sort of physical representation of the reflections of the philosopher Byung-Chul Han when in his book The Transparency Society, states:
Wherever information is very easy to obtain, as is the case today, the social system switches from trust to control. The society of transparency is not a society of trust, but a society of control.
I sincerely recommend anyone interested in reflecting about our relationship with the digital society to have the pleasure of contemplating this performance.”
