Choreography of a Cyborg examines the racialized cybernetic systems of control that shape our contemporary existence. Through object-based portraiture, the work critiques the violent mechanisms by which capitalism categorizes, exploits, and reabsorbs life into frameworks of profit. In this system, nothing escapes the “eye” of the capitalist machine: all life is rendered legible only as commodities or proxies for profit.
Foregrounding moments of material and embodied resistance, the work resists this totalizing logic. These instances—fleeting yet potent—refuse categorization and co-optation. Choreography of a Cyborg envisions the human and the cyborg not as opposites, but as entangled entities navigating systems that continuously reshape identities for exploitation and domination.
The portraits embody ruptures—collapsing the boundaries that sustain neoliberal capitalism. They evoke meanings rooted in the body—meanings that transcend the reductive and violent categories imposed by capitalist systems. Within these cracks, the work gestures toward hybrid forms as sites of transformation, asking: What traces do these acts of resistance leave behind? How do they help us imagine and construct alternative worlds?
Through layered and fluid compositions, the cyborg’s choreography reveals a pulse of life that defies control, erupting with the possibility of collective liberation. It opposes the death-driven logic of extraction and exploitation, envisioning a future where acts of resistance become catalysts for new narratives and worlds.
Choreography of a Cyborg invites viewers to recognize and engage with the fragile yet powerful cracks within systems of control. These openings hold the potential to cultivate connection, resilience, and renewal—a speculative moment of liberation where new possibilities can take root.
