Catalogues of comfort

The present article is a kind of post-production of the project A Dancing Guide to the Catalogue of Comfort (2022), which processed the effects of different technologies on our cognitive apparatus. The initial and less obvious aspect of the performative material still calls for an additional word: how performative and somatic practices, or the performer’s intelligible body, can reveal the modes, ideologies and conceptualisations embedded in technology and hence inform us about both the dangers and the benefits of various technological acquisitions. How technology displaces human presence and presence in its action, on the one hand, and how at the same time human beings are invisibly present in its design.
