Dancers, actors, and movers will, during designated timeslots of the exhibition, inhabit the “uncanny valley”—a space surrounding the main LIT projects. They will function as agents, mirrors, or echoes of the visitors, engaging and interacting with the audience inspired by the theme of our “digital shadows.” Their performance will provoke reflection on identity, presence, and surveillance, centering around the critical question: “Who owns your data?”
