solo sketch #1
This movement dialogue investigates the cultural impact of 'man-made things' - in particular the prototype of a bullet proof skin.
Live performance with excursions into Peter Sloterdijk’s poetic philosophy on the justification of the artificial, colonialism, globalization, cybernetics, Claudia Benthien’s critical, cultural analysis of the perception of the skin, bio-art, bio- and military technology.
