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
Media Dance Performance
Concept, Music, Development: Jonny-Bix Bongers Design, Development: Christian Schmidts
Dance: Orhun Mersin
Camera: Fang Tsai
The performance questions how we present ourselves in the digital realm, exploring avatars and metaverses as essential aspects of our future society. This piece uses digital media to foster self-expression and community formation, departing from traditional forms of representation. Drawing on Gilbert Simondon's theory of transindividualims, „ O cea n fli g ht “ combines motion tracking and gaming software to create an interconnected dance performance. The transdiciplinary team invites viewers to reflect on the transformative power of digital self-expression and its impact on our identities.
