I saw "Phantom Limbs" by Kristi Hansen yesterday and I'm still thinking about it. While it wasn't a core theme they were exploring, it raised questions about how digital representations do and don't reflect us back. As automation finds its way deeper into our lives, how do those systems reflect us back and alter our self-perception?
The stage uses motion-capture as a controller for a 3D dot-matrix sculpture. Kristi is a dancer with an amputation, and as she moves through the space the motion capture glitches and intermittently "fills in" the missing limb. She draws an explicit connection between the machine connecting the missing dots, and her phantom limb syndrome psychologically filling in what isn't there anymore.
If you're in Edmonton, you should check it out. Link to the show here

Fix the brain drain first, then attract new talents! Attracting talent from outside Canada is good in principle, but not at the price of forgetting about all the brilliant researchers who are already in Canada looking for a good position within Canada. 🇨🇦
