In this participatory workshop by Mónica Rikić, the act of feeding becomes a metaphor for long-term, relational technologies. Together with the audience, the artist co-creates a wearable robot that feeds her—inviting reflection on care as a political act and questioning how we might age with machines. Built directly onto her body, the robot materializes questions of softness, slowness, and collective design in a technologized world.
