The third edition of the mini-festival Machines brings together a series of audiovisual performances that explore the tense interplay between machine and organism, control and liberation, order and chaos. This year’s program anchors itself in a provocative question: How can we interrupt systemic codes: mechanical labor, exploited bodies, and programmed behaviors, as acts of resistance and emancipation? Through malfunction, re-sampling, and remixing, the participating artists reprogram for disobedience, creating space for unruly, uncontrolled machines.
