research group H.A.U.S. will do two performances on the re-invention of the human body. Today we are experiencing massive socio-technical changes. Our bodies face the artificial bodies of AI-controlled robots. the situation is similar to the search for early modernism for the “new human being” for a “new time”. Johannes Itten, as one of the few, tried radically to inscribe the human body in the production of architecture. Yet classical modernism has ultimately succeeded in reducing the human body to its extensions and its senses to sight. new artificial bodies are now forcing the reconception of the human body in architecture.
dance-performance: an improvisation of a dancer, a musician and a humanoid robot.
presence-performance: visitors breathe with a humanoid robot – reenacting an anecdote from the early bauhaus.

who can feel an AI?
how do artificial bodies inscribe themselves into human space?
what do these crude imitation of human bodies tell us about our bodies?
