The lecture is based on an offline assemblage project and explores how relationships are formed through performative situations, physicality and focused attention between species, environments and things. He is interested in sensitivity as a way of knowing and being together, in which the boundaries between human and non-human become permeable. The world is shown here as a network of mutual touches, dependencies and forms of care.

Maja Štefančíková is a visual artist and performer who creates temporary performative situations, mainly through movement and voice. She explores the body as a node of relationships in space and time – her works connect contemplation with playfulness. He creates long-lasting events with a fixed choreography that sensitively react to stimuli from the environment. He currently works at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, where he heads the Performance Laboratory.

The leitmotif of the fourth year of the New Interfaces 04 lecture series is the body and physicality in the age of digital technologies. We are interested in the themes of corporeality, but also the sublimation of the corporeal in digital interfaces, non-normative bodies, the animality of corporeality or the memory of the body, which artists discuss in their works in various media positions and forms.
