SHIFT + CTRL — lead image

SHIFT + CTRL (2025) is an artistic work developed during the 2025 edition of the RAIVE Summer School. Created within a collaborative and research-oriented context, SHIFT + CTRL explores Control as a phenomenon that emerges in-between human soma and artificial intelligence. From bloodflow to dataflow, SHIFT + CTRL situates artificial intelligence as an integrated component of performance and perception, to coexist, interact, and continuously reshape hybrid forms of new materialist and experiential configurations, co-constituted by human bodies, control-based instructions, and computational systems.
