In Technosferatu, viewers are invited to position themselves in a metallic, coffin-shaped vertical seat. A sensor activates a short speculative documentary exploring the political entanglements of ageing, data labour, and social media. Technosferatu explores how, in the name of longevity, algorithmic systems transform the body into a site of labour, optimization, and exploitation. In escaping death, do we risk becoming the undead—quantified, surveilled, and stripped of agency?
