Performing alongside anthropomorphised technologies, Malaimare’s choreography manifests an intimate relationship between human bodies and machines. Her personal and ritualistic performative approach cleaves body movement and technical mediation. Light, photographic tools, screens, sound and other non-human actors collaborate to create sensuous and other-worldly environments that play across the viewer in co-constitution. Malaimere declares that: “we tend to realise how much the human sympathy for technology follows the formula of ‘like knows like’. We are capable of understanding them only through subjecting them to anthropomorphism or, in turn, we tend to technologise ourselves. There’s a lot of grey area I like to fill. This sense of kinship and sympathy, the sex appeal of the inorganic, is going to be present and playful”.
