TECHNOMANCY

Technomancy is a speculative performance ritual that deals with technologies of divination—from ancient astrology to artificial intelligence. The piece asks what future will emerge from the computer-assisted oracles that interpret our present. In complete darkness, Technomancy explores artificial divination, the theatricality of predictions, and how prophecies influence the future.

During their residency at K3, Gry explored fake astrology—the analysis of artificial satellites and their astrological effects in an artificial night—as well as an Oracle Machine—a dance-trained predictive algorithm embodied in Technomancy 's interactive objects.

Gry Tingskog

based between Berlin and Stockholm, makes performances in a collaborative manner, performs, teaches, organizes, writes, makes light design and dramaturgy. Their works combine dance, darkness, textile sculpture, technology and programming to create multi-sensory, immersive experiences. At the centre of their work is the question of how choreographic parameters can be stored in objects and conveyed through touch rather than language. They hold a MA in Choreography and Performance (ATW Gießen) and a BA in Dance Performance (DOCH Stockholm).

At K3, Gry combines technology and spirituality to explore forms of divination in the digital age. They will develop a Fake Astrology and an Oracle Machine as performative tools to communicate with the unknown. Fake Astrology is the study of satellites in an artificial night sky, and the Oracle Machine speculates on (im)possible futures generated by technology. Together with an Artificial Intelligence, they will create a performance for interactive e-textile sculptures and dancers.
