Intimacy Of Mutation (Live Performance)

Sound/Visuals: John Wild

Improvised Dance: Ciar Wild  and Caitano Saldanha

First performed at the 50th Edition of White Noise held at Corsica Studios.



"Intimacy of Mutation" is an improvised contemporary dance performance by Ciar Wild and Caitano Saldanha, presented in dialogue with projected flesh mutations created in 2022 using early machine learning techniques, specifically StyleGAN. 

The piece was set to an algorithmic composition of continually evolving low-frequency bass patterns, reflecting the vibrational nature of all matter.








Intimacy of Mutation  – is an ongoing inquiry into the symbiotic entanglement of the human body and technology. It recognises our deepening integration within a cognitive assemblage shaped by networked digital systems and surveillance capitalism. The work asks: what new mutations are being born from the collision of corporate artificial intelligence and corporeal human bodies?
