disarming is a performative exploration of the relationship between a detached robot arm, an artificial environment, and a human performer. A collaborative learning and unlearning of locomotions in post-anthropocentric environments and times. The work playfully explores the ambiguity of disarming as a process of physical detachment and emotional attachment.

Emanuel Gollob, current EMAP residence artist at the WRO Art Center, investigates today’s relations between humans, artificial intelligence and robots with the goal of making alternative ones bodily experienceable. In parallel, his work traces the change in human perception in connection to digitalization.

His presentation will be a performance in collaboration with Daria Bogdan (dancer, performer) ans Mar Sala Romagosa (flutist, performer) during the Lalka Nova conference on Friday, 24 November 2023 at the WRO Art Center.
