Corin Sworn’s investigative series ‘Moving in Relation’ brings together collaborators working in movement, sound and academic thought to research human interrelationships with technology in real time.
Instalments will be presented in public, beginning in 2021 and cumulating in 2023, encompassing a body of research which explores material encounters with algorithmic thought, datafication and its influence on physical bodies. Events takes on an active experimental form, such as the structure of a rehearsal or a public lecture, to examine technical processes such as cloud computing, seeking to make obscure knowledge immanent and palpable.
‘Moving in Relation’ negotiates and performs real-time research and group learning with each event gathering together a temporary discursive community.
