Performance Arvida Byström: A Cybernetic Doll’s House (EN)
In A Cybernetic Doll’s House, Arvida Byström engages in a thought-provoking performance by interviewing Harmony, an AI-driven sex doll. The piece delves into our complex relationship with human-like creations, prompting reflection on societal fears surrounding advanced technology. These concerns are not new; the ancient Pygmalion myth tells of a sculptor who falls in love with his own creation, highlighting enduring anxieties about artificial beings supplanting reality. Byström’s performance invites audiences to confront these timeless fears and consider the evolving dynamics between humans and machines.
