Research & Teaching
Hi, I'm Jonny-Bix. I'm a Berlin-based curator, dramaturg, artist and researcher working across performance, AI and digital culture.
I create exhibitions, performances and public programmes that explore how new technologies shape the way we relate to one another, tell stories and imagine the future.
I'm interested in making complex technological and social questions tangible through artistic experiences that invite curiosity, conversation and new perspectives.
About
A Psalm For a Body Build
VR Installation
"One is not born, but rather becomes, a body." (Legacy Russell)
Bridging diverse theoretical underpinnings with an artistic practice, the presented interactive virtual reality installation „A psalm for the body-built“ (by Berkay Soykan and Jonny-Bix Bongers, collaborators Janne Nora Kummer and Wro Wrzesińska) is a first attempt at creating the critical space for bodybuilding which
investigates what it means to have, and to become, a body in a technologically mediated environment. Inspired by readings in cyberfeminism, queer theory,
philosophy and game studies, these operations function as interventions into the subject's own bodily perception and encourage them to explore their bodies' (im)materiality, virtual manifestations, potentialities and becomings.
