Sockets, nodes of the power grid, both shape our lives and create hidden constraints on our lives. Leashing the Socket aims to challenge the framework of civilization by promoting the autonomy of entities. By swapping the roles of „supply“ and „demand“ in electricity, it binds humans and non-humans together through the power cord, fostering autonomy and challenging established networks. This prompts us to question who is actually in control.
