Every Love Song in the World
Every Love Song in the World is a performance & series of works on third world entanglement with digital infrastructure. Tracing a century of Filipino history, warfare, faith, migration, and labor, across personal, captured, and imagined vignettes. Each performance is unique, consisting of a random configuration of 13 chapters that study different technological subjects: cableships, machine vision, satellites, videoke machines, pisonet computers.
Neferti Tadiar describes how the Philippines' primary product and export is that of service and affect. Computational systems today are built on the automating and masking of this production. Ultimately, Every Love Song in the World looks to the Filipino body as an interface who mediates and conditions the affects, intimacies, and violences that circulate through networks – presenting a global history of control, affect, computation.
